Identify 5 Examples of Graphic Design Delivering Different Messages 


Number One //  Artists Message Through Print

This piece of work is actually a screen print and i think it sort of acts as an inside  message for artists who work in these areas of design and understand how much effort and work is put into a piece of work that has been creating using printing methods. And also shows that it is not a dying art, due to computers etc.

Number Two // Obey // Propaganda

One of my favourite pieces by Shepard Fairey, the founder of propaganda company OBEY. OBEY is probably the most popular and recognised propaganda company in the contemporary art world and has a cult following. This design made it into the press around the time that a new american president was to be elected. It ended up being such a powerful political message and symbol that it was used in the Barack Obama Petition which eventually helped get him into the position he is in today.

Number Three // Kermit The Frog - Supreme // T-shirt Slogan - Fashion

I found this t-shirt which i really liked on the website of clothing company 'Supreme'. The message is quite light hearted and is linked to some of the designs that they use but it really stands out and makes you instantly think of what this could be. Even though it does not really mean anything, it grabs your attention and gets you thinking, which is exactly what the clothing company would want you to do.

Number Four  // Keep Calm and Carry On // Wartime Propaganda 

I know this is a cliche example to use but EVERYBODY has seen this poster somewhere. I love the background behind this piece of legendary propaganda, that it was used as a morale boosting slogan for the Army all those years ago. I also like how it has been adapted to this modern day and people still use it in stressful situations. 

Number Five //  Greenpeace Advertising Campaign // Charity

A billboard advert by Greenpeace. Making extremely bold statements about the government and how they had the chance to stop climate change, yet didn't. Charity companies like Greenpeace often like to use shocking advertisements to make their message clear to the world.
