What Is Graphic Design? Continuation...

This is a continuation of my first Design Context blog, where I will carry on looking at what Graphic Design is, and what I like/dislike...

This is the front cover of 'The Walk Book' with audio walks through London, Paris and New York by Janet Cardifft but written by Mirjam Schaub. She had given people walkmans which guided the participants through the cities.




I love the design of the book, there isn't actually a CD in the front cover, but it relates to the fact that Cardiff works with audio. The blue, pink, black and grey seem to really work together for this cover. The text is equally as interesting, the way each letter is put together seems to be a combination of two letters, for example, the first a in Janet, is a combination of a C and a backwards R.

This is the inside cover, I am quite a fan of black and pink together, and it works really well on the white background.



This is an advert in a free paper/magazine for an exhibition at the V & A. The exhibiton is for digital design and shows off the latest advances in design technology by international artists and emerging designers.

The design, from a distance looks like an intense close up at some kind of precious stone, but when you are closer, it looks like a pixelated pattern, the green text for the title works well, it stands out without popping too much, the V&A logo in this same colour keeps the design looking uniform.
