Graphic design: all that meets the eye and so much more! |
|
Christy Semple Take a moment to look around the room or the area where you are right now. Chances are, there are plenty of examples of graphic design. In the classroom, there may be posters and books. In the kitchen, there may be packages of all kinds, from boxes to cans. And on the street, there may be billboards and signs. Graphic design is truly everywhere. Did you know that a graphic designer was involved in the creation of all twenty of the items listed on the next page? In fact, if you look at anything that is printed, a graphic designer was involved in the process. Graphic designers help create Internet pages and other forms of digital communication, too! Graphic designers are also known as graphic artists. So, what is the difference between a graphic artist and an artist who does painting or sculpture? Essentially, one of them expresses and the other communicates. Painter or sculpture artists express beauty and feelings through their art. Graphic artists communicate information and ideas through their work. Sometimes, what the graphic artist does is very close to art and there is not much difference between the two. We can understand graphic artists better if we take a look at the tools they use. These days, much of the work of the graphic artist is done on a computer using software programs like Adobe InDesign and Illustrator. The computer doesn#39;t do all the work, though. It#39;s still important to use some hands-on, natural creativity. Any good graphic artist still sits down with a pencil and paper and sketches out some ideas at the beginning of a project. These sketches are sometimes called 'thumbnails.' Let#39;s see how a graphic designer#39;s skills come together to create a common cereal box. The graphic artist meets with the client, in this case probably someone from the marketing department of the cereal company. The graphic artist finds out critical information, like who the audience for the product is (you!), what image the company wants to portray, what information needs to be included on the package, and where the product is going to be sold. The graphic artist sketches out some different ideas or thumbnails for the client to consider. The graphic artist takes one or two of the client#39;s favorite ideas and creates some sample packages on the computer screen. These may be printed out on paper. The graphic artist makes changes that the client requests, then sends digital files of the final package design to the printer. The printer turns the digital files into printing plates and prints the packages. The packages go to the cereal company to get filled and sent to stores where the graphic artist#39;s work captures the attention of kids like you and let#39;s you know what fun and tasty cereal is inside! Graphic artists help to make our world colorful, interesting and informative. Grocery shelves, bookstore shelves, video shelves and mailboxes would be very drab without their work. Nothing could really get printed without them! So now, as you look around the classroom, the kitchen, the grocery store or the street, you will know that the talents of graphic artists everywhere helped to make those signs and packages and books and posters come alive to make a difference in your daily life. Some of the many products that graphic artists help to design: CD/DVD packaging Food packaging Drink packaging Video packaging Books Magazines Catalogs T-shirts Billboards Posters Mousepads Wrapping paper Grocery store flyers Baseball cards Greeting cards Calendars Game boards Newsletters Newspapers Menus Christy Semple is a trainer and David Watterson is the Art Director for PIA/GATF (Printing Industries of America/Graphic Arts Technical Foundation), a nonprofit organization dedicated to advocacy, education, research and technical information in the printing industry.

Mueller Lilith Glass is older than recorded history. When, where, how or who first learned to work with glass is unknown. The ancient Egyptians created glass objects as early as 2600 BC. They were mostly luxury items, like perfume bottles, that only the wealthy could afford. Today glass is everywhere. We find everyday glass objects such as light bulbs, bottles and windows in most parts of the world. Did you know that glass is also important in communication? Phone conversations and internet connections travel across optical fibers, which look like an incredibly thin wire that is made out of glass. What is glass made of? Most glass items are not too expensive, and are easy to manufacture. Melting together sand, soda and lime makes one kind of glass. Can you guess its name? (it is called 'soda-lime' glass) Dale Chihuly Dale Chihuly is an artist who works with fire and heat. He creates colorful, imaginative objects our of glass by blowing air into a blowpipe. Yes, this is dangerous! But it is also exciting. Chihuly likes the spontaneity of glass and the immediate results he gets when working with it. The finished product is right there, which gives him a sense of accomplishment. He started working with glass when he was young. One day while at home in his parents#39; basement, he melted stained glass with a pipe and then blew a glass bubble. Ever since then he has been fascinated by glass. Chihuly has created many kinds of work. Some examples are: glass towers, a garden of glass, and ceilings that look like an underwater world. Hot shapes Dale Chihuly has worked with glass for 30 years, and never runs out of new ideas. He is inspired by many d 全文共18976字，剩余内容已隐藏，支付完成后下载完整资料 平面设计：眼睛能看到的更多 克里斯蒂 花点时间看看你现在所在的房间或区域。很可能，有很多图形设计的例子。教室里可能有海报和书。厨房里可能有各种各样的包装，从盒子到罐头。在街上，可能有广告牌和标志。 平面设计真的无处不在。你知道图形设计师参与了下一页列出的20个项目的创建吗？事实上，如果你看到任何印刷品，一个图形设计师参与了这个过程。图形设计师也帮助创建互联网页面和其他形式的数字通信！ 图形设计师也被称为图形艺术家。那么，一个平面艺术家和一个绘画或雕塑的艺术家有什么区别呢？本质上，它们中的一个表达，另一个交流。画家或雕塑艺术家通过他们的艺术表达美和情感。 图形艺术家通过他们的作品交流信息和想法。有时，平面艺术家所做的工作与艺术非常接近，两者之间没有太大的区别。我们可以更好地理解图形艺术家，如果我们看看他们使用的工具。 如今，这位图形艺术家的大部分作品都是在计算机上用AdobeInDesign和Illustrator等软件程序完成的。不过，计算机并不能完成所有的工作。使用一些实际的、自然的创造力仍然很重要。任何一个优秀的平面艺术家在项目开始时都会拿着铅笔和纸坐下来，勾画出一些想法。这些草图有时被称为“缩略图”。 让我们看看一个平面设计师的技能是如何结合在一起创建一个普通的谷物盒的。 图形艺术家与客户会面，在这种情况下，可能是来自谷物公司营销部门的人。图形艺术家找出关键信息，比如产品的受众是谁（你！），公司想要描绘的形象，包装上需要包含哪些信息，以及产品的销售地点。 图形艺术家勾画出一些不同的想法或缩略图供客户考虑。图形艺术家从客户最喜欢的一个或两个想法中提取一个或两个，并在计算机屏幕上创建一些示例包。这些可以打印在纸上。 图形艺术家根据客户要求进行更改，然后将最终包设计的数字文件发送到打印机。 打印机将数字文件转换成印刷版并打印包装。这些包装将被送到谷类食品公司进行填充，并发送到商店，在那里，图形艺术家的作品吸引了像你这样的孩子的注意，让你知道里面是什么有趣和美味的谷类食品！ 图形艺术家有助于使我们的世界丰富多彩，有趣和信息丰富。杂货架、书店架、视频架和邮箱如果没有它们的工作，将会非常单调。没有它们，什么都无法真正打印出来！ 所以现在，当你环顾教室、厨房、杂货店或街道时，你会知道，各地的平面艺术家的才能帮助使这些标志、包装、书籍和海报活跃起来，从而改变你的日常生活。 图形艺术家帮助设计的许多产品中的一些： CD/DVD包装食品包装饮料包装视频包装书籍目录T恤广告牌海报鼠标垫包装纸杂货店传单棒球卡贺卡日历游戏板新闻稿报纸菜单 Christy Semple是一名培训师，David Watterson是PIA/GATF（美国印刷工业/图形艺术技术基金会）的艺术总监，这是一个致力于印刷业的宣传、教育、研究和技术信息的非营利组织。 版权所有2005国际儿童艺术基金会 版权所有2006 Gale Group 神秘的物质 缪勒莉莉丝 玻璃比有记载的历史还要古老。何时、何地、如何或谁第一次学会使用玻璃还不得而知。古埃及人早在公元前2600年就创造了玻璃制品。它们大多是奢侈品，比如香水瓶，只有富人才能买得起。 今天到处都是玻璃。我们在世界大部分地区都能找到日常玻璃制品，如灯泡、瓶子和窗户。 你知道玻璃在交流中也很重要吗？电话和互联网连接通过光纤传输，光纤看起来像一根由玻璃制成的非常细的电线。 玻璃是用什么做的？ 大多数玻璃制品不太贵，而且容易制造。把沙子、苏打水和石灰融为一体就成了一种玻璃。 你能猜出它的名字吗？ （称为“苏打石灰”玻璃） 戴尔齐胡利 戴尔·奇胡利是一位与火和热一起工作的艺术家。他把空气吹进吹管，创造出色彩丰富、富有想象力的玻璃制品。是的，这很危险！但这也是令人兴奋的。 奇胡利喜欢玻璃的自发性和他在使用玻璃时得到的即时效果。成品就在那里，给了他成就感。 他小时候就开始用玻璃做活儿。一天，他在父母地下室的家里，用烟斗熔化了彩色玻璃，然后吹出了一个玻璃泡。从那时起，他就被玻璃迷住了。 奇胡利创造了许多作品。一些例子是：玻璃塔，玻璃花园，天花板看起来像一个水下世界。 热形状 戴尔·奇胡利与格拉斯合作了30年，从未放弃过新的想法。他受到许多不同来源的启发，但最重要的是，玻璃本身激励他创造新的形状和设计。 金塔藏红花谷奇胡利 [图略] 孩子们学习戴尔·奇胡利的《孔雀蓝塔》 [图略] 奇胡利的“菲奥里·迪康波”把天花板变成了海景。 [图略] 与奇胡利合作 奇胡利是最著名的移动玻璃吹灰机之一。你可以在世界各地看到他的作品。与大多数玻璃吹制工不同，他更喜欢在团队中工作。他也喜欢和孩子一起工作，经常举办儿童工作坊。 在他的工作坊里，他不喜欢专注于技术技能。相反，他鼓励快乐和创造力，说创造力来自“直觉”。激情和能量可以帮助你找到自己的道路，实现你的创造潜力。 无论你是艺术家、老师还是医生，奇胡利都会提醒我们，艺术和创造力丰富了我们的生活，并打开了“改善社会的机会”。 版权所有2005国际儿童艺术基金会 版权所有2006 Gale Group
