Graphic arts Graphic artists at work during the 1960s A type of fine art, graphic art covers a broad range of art forms. Graphic art typically is two-dimensional and includes calligraphy, photography, drawing, painting, printmaking, lithography, typography, serigraphy (silk-screen printing), computer graphics, and bindery. Graphic art also consists of drawn plans and layouts for interior and architectural designs.[1] The responsibility for effective communication also falls under the auspices of the graphic designer. History[edit] Throughout history, technological inventions have shaped the development of graphic art. Johannes Gutenberg invented an improved movable type mechanical device known as the printing press in 1450, the first outside of Asia. Again during the Renaissance years, graphic art in the form of printing played a major role in the spread of classical learning in Europe. The next major change in graphic arts came when the personal computer was invented in the twentieth century.

Finding Alternative Sources Of Typographic Layout In Our Surroundings - Smashing Magazine Advertisement Studying art and design usually starts with a deep exploration of elements and principles. Among these elements, the most basic ones — line, point and plane — usually figure in a work of art or design. The Framework Of Sources For Typographic Layout According to Wucius Wong in his book Principles of Form and Design (page 42), point, line and plane can be considered conceptual design elements because, although they are not always explicit or visible, they seem to be present by implication. In most art and design classes, students are asked to analyze the structure of a painting or design in order to better understand principles of organization. Learning To Abstract What We See Most of us live in a relatively static environment, whether urban or rural. (Photo courtesy of the Urban Studies Department, Wheaton College, Wheaton, Illinois.)

Anki - friendly, intelligent flashcards How Iconic: A Word Is Worth Thousands Of Pictures : All Tech Considered Picture a dictionary that doesn't need words to get the point across. It started after Edward Boatman read the book The Professor and the Madman by Simon Winchester. The book is about Professor James Murray, the man who compiled the first Oxford English Dictionary. So Boatman thought he'd do something similar: use crowdsourcing to gather an army of people to define words, but instead of using other words to do it, they'd use icons. Thus the Noun Project was born. "The thinking behind this is that visuals are kind of the one language that everyone can understand regardless of race or ethnicity or cultural heritage," Boatman said. The Noun Project is an online database of nearly every noun you can imagine, as well as some verbs. Need an image of a drone delivering pizza or feeding a baby? The project isn't just Boatman's vision for sharing a visual language, it's also a business. Teespring, a company that allows users to design their own T-shirts, also uses the API.
