OUGD601 - Final Images For Analysis

In deciding on a more specific focus of my essay to be on the production and aesthetics of poster design, this meant that I needed to find different image sources that can be analysed within my essay, which more appropriately link to theory and my research question. For this reason, images of poster designs will be analysed, those which show the use of handmade production methods, those which show the use of digital production methods, as well as those which take on a more multi-disciplinary approach in using a mixture of both production methods.

Potentials for handmade design:

Anthony Burrill, 'You Know More Than You Think You Do', woodblock letterpress print.

Potentials for digital design:

Massimo Vignelli and Michael Bierut, poster for 'IDCNY Welcomes The AIA Covention' (1988).

Potentials for multi-disciplinary design:

Marcus Irwin, 'Heaven When You Smile', screen-print on magazine advert.

Final chosen images:

After some research and brainstorming, it was decided that the essay should include one image source on handmade design, one on digital design, and two which take on a multi-disciplinary approach, these last two being analysed near the end of the essay in order to support my conclusion and final arguments.
