The Future of Graphic Arts I. Introduction The role of a graphic designer can be seen as wide ranging and adaptable, the influence can extend from that on the direct client, to in some cases, society in general. Graphic design is not a new art form. We can argue that as long as there has been art there has been graphic design. However, for many decades, and even centuries, the term graphic designer was not applied to the practices if this art form. The term graphic designer was first used at the beginning of the twentieth century, and it is this era that can be seen to mark the beginning of the modern era of graphic design. It was in 1922 that first printed reference to this term can be found (WebCT, 2002). Since that time there have been many changes, social, political and technological, all of which have effected the perception of graphic design and the way it is both created and perceived. To understand where the art form may go in the future and how it could develop we need to look at the past. This is form this we will get a 'feel' of the sector and see how patterns emerge that reflect and art reflected by the different broader environmental aspects of modern life. II.

Report on application forms and letterheads.
Report on application forms and letterheads... Contents Page Introduction I have collected 6 documents. I collected a letterhead and an application form each from 3 different companies. This report will show my findings and working out of the 6 collected documents. Description of each document will be shown along with their good points and bad points on the writing and presentation style. This report will also show the similarities of the 6 documents and how they could be improved. The content, layout and purpose of the documents will also be discussed in this report to help me get to a conclusion. Office World Letterhead Content The content shown in the letterhead is basic. It has the 'Office World' company logo which is there to represent the true company identity. It is an eye-catching logo because of the colours that have been used by the designer to create it. The letters in the logo are big and bold which help it to stand out from the background and attracts a reader's attention. The colour used in the background for the company logo, contrasts well with the company name because they are both dissimilar colours which help it to be eye-catching. This letterhead also has footer which provides details of the company. These details can help a reader in many ways. If the reader wants to communicate with the company in any way he can do so by either using the fax
Desk Top Publishing coursework girl scouts leaflet
IDENTIFY Background Miss Darling is the president of a girl-scout group called the Green Peacocks. The Green Peacocks was established in 1960 by her grandmother Mrs. Darling. This club was created to teach young girls between the ages of 5 - 16 years the usefulness of friendship, teamwork and training. The club is located in North Finchley. Statement of the problem At the moment, the Green Peacocks are attended poorly because of the insufficient equipment and facilities and advertisement. This is because the leaflets are hand-written which is boring and hard top understand. Most of the time, people throw the leaflets away because they don't understand the writing and think it is too boring. This year she wants me to create a leaflet containing the aims, activities, places visited and the awards achieved at the end of each year. Consideration of Alternate Solutions . A leaflet could be designed and written up by hand and then photocopied and handed out to people. This leaflet would contain all the necessary information but the problem with this idea is that the information may not be clear and the leaflet will be very unattractive. 2. A word processor could be used to type up the leaflets as well as insert graphics and fancy headings. This solution will be better than using freehand and it will look more professional. This solution is not as good because this computer

Toy project DT
Toys are described as playthings for the use of children, normally a toy is to provide entertainment and education. It is widely believed that toys influence the emotional, social, mental and the physical development of children. They play a great part to the early years of a person's life: to occupy and to teach. So it is important what toys children play with and the quality of them. For many centuries children have been interested in toys. Prehistoric toys must have existed because children and adults have used their imagination to create toys out of any materials. Objects have survived which have been made out of terracotta are expected to be around 3000 years old. These were made in the Mediterranean and the Near East, and were models of animals and some pull along toys on wheels.

ICT - Microsoft Publisher, Pizza restaurant menu.
GCSE ICT PROJECT Microsoft Publisher Pizza Restaurant Menu Part One - Identify Statement of the problem Mr Suits is the owner of a pizza restaurant - "Pizza Colosseum". Mr Suits wants to open up new branches. At the moment his restaurant only has a very dull looking and unattractive menu. It is simply a list of the food available typed up using a word processor. Although he has many regular customers, many of his customers judge the restaurant when they see the uninspiring menu. He needs a new menu in order to attract more customers to raise enough profit to expand. Sometimes, the customers want to know whether a dish is vegetarian or not, spicy or not. They also want to know what ingredients are in the pizza, sometimes the waiters/waitresses are busy and do have the time to answer these questions or do not actually know them. Consideration of Alternative Solutions One solution could be to produce an attractive menu by hiring an artist to draw up an eye-catching menu. This could then be colour photocopied and distributed. However, colour photocopying is very expensive and a hand drawn menu does not seem very professional. Every time the menu has to be updated, the artist has to be hired again and the design photocopied all over again. Another solution could be to use the current word processor method but add the extra needed content such as description of
My project will be a promotional package for a newly formed company. It will be a food company, which produces top quality traditional Chinese food, e.g. moon cakes, ¡¥waxed sausages¡, etc.
Section 1 Introduction Introduction My project will be a promotional package for a newly formed company. It will be a food company, which produces top quality traditional Chinese food, e.g. moon cakes, 'waxed sausages', etc. This project will consist of making a logo for the company, a business card, a letter headed paper and an introductory leaflet. The logo will be designed with iGrafx Image; business card will be designed with Microsoft(r) Publisher; letter headed paper with Microsoft(r) Word; and an introductory leaflet with Microsoft(r) Publisher. The logo should give customers a general idea of what the company is and produces. The logo will also be used all the way through my project to indicate that they are all about the company. Logos from existing Chinese food companies may be used for getting some ideas for my logo, and I will use the Internet to find some examples. Pictures will be used in the leaflet to attract readers. The leaflet should have simple text to allow readers to read through it easily, using Franklin Gothic Book as the text. It should have 3 to 5 pages, consisting of the main achievement of the company, products of the company with brief descriptions (certainly with pictures of the products next to them), and at the back of the leaflet will have contact numbers and addresses of the company, web site address (if available) and also with the
A Business Analysis of the Boject Oriented Hypermedia Design Model
A Business Analysis of the Object Oriented Hypermedia Design Model This discourse will provide a brief overview of the Object Oriented Hypermedia design model and the four-step process involved in the development of the model. This section will provide an explanation for each step in the process. Then we will discuss the past, present and future business uses of the model. This will explore the importance of the model in business applications that are conducted through the Internet. We will also provide details about the compatibility of the model and compare the model to similar applications such as HDM and OOHM. Finally, we will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the model. Including that navigational design of the model and the costly overhead and training involved in implementing the application. There will be several types of sources used during the course of this discussion. Most of these sources will be essays and articles written by Rossi and Schwabe who invented the Object Oriented Hypermedia Design Method. In addition there will be a myriad of article written by computer programming specialists and researchers. Brief overview of the Object Oriented Hypermedia Design Model The Object Oriented Hypermedia Design Model uses "abstraction and composition devices in an object oriented framework to allow a concise description of complex information items, and on
'Produce a promotional package for a newly formed company'.
Plan For this project, I have been asked to 'Produce a promotional package for a newly formed company'. This document is my plan for that coursework task In order to complete this task successfully, I have been asked to include the following features: - > A suitable logo for the company > A business card > Letter headed paper > An introductory leaflet, suitable for presentation to a prospective client, giving brief details of the services offered by the company. To complete this task I will be required to carry out some research, which will involve using the Internet, and also completing a small amount of non-IT research, perhaps involving a promotional package from a competitors company. These will be included in my next section. In order to create the above items, I will need to use various computer programs and software tools, including a word processor and a desktop publishing program. These will be sufficient to use in order to create a business card, a letter headed sheet and an introductory leaflet. To design a suitable company logo, I intend to attempt to create a relatively simple logo, as my research will prove that successful companies can succeed with only the simplest of logos. For this reason, I intend to use a relatively simple graphics program. Obviously, I will also need to use a web browser as part of my research, and this is the same both at school
