How was the implementation of print become popular in the 21st Century?
Key Influences that have informed my practical and dissertation
Books & magazines used to influence my essay and practical
Every Graphic designer has there own catagory which they prefer or have a passion for. Mines always been tradtional print, screen print, letterpress, mono -print, I've also always had a love for typography. The reason for this is because, i like being tactile, as a designer i couldnt think of anything worse than being sat behind a computer all day long working digital, i like being tactile and exploring.
The dissertation in which I answerd was important, due to the constant changing design industry, i think it's vital to evaluate the world i'm interested in exploring, so i know what im going into. One thing that made me nervious about going to the real world is, getting a job in an area that i didn't want such as web design, because theres 'no jobs' in print. However during research through my dissertation i found that traditional print is actually starting to come into it's prime. From begining the essay feeling worried about what i might descover, i finished feeling, a new designer and confident, if anything creating the essay and finding the findings, i was inspired and was happily suprised.
Some of the key influences throughout my essay & pratical were 2 of the following:
Main influence 1: People of print: People of print, are a tridtional printing company who pride themselfs, preducing luxury magazines, which contain, interviews, articles, analysis, and many more woudnerful insights. They release a quartley magazine, in which i buy everytime they come out. The magazines are made from screen printing and other traditional printing methods. During research Into my dissertation and practical I found most of my influences were from books, magazines rather than websites as most things online, are about digital printing.
Main Influence 2 : Steven hellers typography sketch Book, is one of my favourite inspirations , mainly because its type based and also becase it shows the tactility of how designers work during there process of creating some good designs. This book was a key inspiration into dissertation, as it made me thing of the different ways i could work with different materails.
