What is Graphic Design - Study Task 2 - Part 1 - Identify 5 Examples of Graphic Design Performing Different Functions

Identify 5 examples of Graphic Design performing different functions

Number One //  Minimalistic Film Posters // Posters

Source // Minimalistic Movie Posters

I love these minimalistic film posters created by various artists. I think the simplicity and subtlety of each design make them stand out from other forms of advertising. I also really like the pastel colours and textures used to create these unique pieces of design. 

Number Two // Fast Eddie's Barber Shop // Corporate Identity

I came across this on the website, Ffffound and it really stood out to me. I love the simplicity of this design and how the different types have been combined with the logo to create a really nice simple old school looking corporate identity for a barber's shop. I really like work like this as it makes the company look really proffesional, also has a contemporary look on a vintage design, making the company look like an old family barber shop but with a modern touch. I love how they have used embossing on the business cards too, which makes all the difference in it's aesthetic qualities.

Number Three //  Example - Watch The Sun Comes Up // Music Video

I hate the artist Example and despise this song but when came across this video on a music channel, the graphics really stood out to me and i had to watch it again on youtube. I think it has cleverly been edited and illustrated, looking like it has taken influence from the classic 'Aha - Take On Me' video. YES!


Number Four // Parra - Rockwell Clothing // Design For Fashion

Parra is an artist i have admired for a long time now. He runs a clothing company called 'Rockwell Clothing' and puts his minimalistic but really contemporary and colourful illustrations on clothing to get his work worn by people. He started off by making posters and posting them around his hometown of Paris, until people started to notice them and contact him for work. 

Number Five // Vintage Pharmaceutical Packaging  //Packaging Design

I have always loved and always will love vintage design in all aspects of graphics. Here are some vintage medicine packaging designs from the 1960's - 1980's that i came across on the internet a few months ago. I love the idea of looking back at how things used to be packaging and revisiting this by putting a contemporary edge on them. I really love the fonts, colours and shapes used on this packaging.
