Producing Images that effectively communicate a message to an audience, Example 10


communicating and informing that McDonald's Restaurants have Wifi, this is strongly linked to both the technology and the restaurant by using fries to form the internationally recognised symbol for WiFi.

Interpreting images of the present, past and a range of cultures, Example 10


I really enjoy vintage posters, especially ones like this Swiss travel poster. The colours and even the texture of the old style paper gives this poster more depth.

Che Guevera poster

I think Che must be the most printed face in history, everyone recognises hkm, may not know his name but they know his face. The revolutionary inspired thousands if not millions of people and still today his face remains, nightclubs have been named after him t-shirts litter festival shops. The simple black outline of his face is powerful enough to communicate his appearance of confidence and determination. A figurehead in cuban society.

An iconic logo in modern pop culture, big brother was watched by millions of people everyday (i did find it a bit sad though) the logo itself is smart though, the eye is the cameras that see everything and the black and yellow swirls are the hypnotic controlling element of big brother.

Audi - German Thinking/Culture



The design for this is genius, and that goes for most German car firms. If you notice most German car logos a circular or are placed in a circle like vw and bmw. This is to represent ever lasting and never ending, basically the firms want to show that their cars last and in fact are infamous for their enduring quality compared to their French and Italian rivals.

Apple Logo - Consumer Culture





This logo has become an everyday appearance in 21st century society, nearly everybody in the West owns an apple product either it be an ipod, macbook, i phone or an imac. The symbol itself is self explanatory and now requires no type just its own image inside the modern consumer culture and society.

World War 2 Propaganda posters





This world war 2 propaganda poster persuades people to home grow food instead of using imported foods that required the merchant navy to deliver but were unreliable due to dangerous waters, so the government inspired people to be self dependent. the image is an example of smart design using a ship and a spade together strengthens the concept.

Interpreting images of the present, past and a range of cultures, Example 1



This contempary print of a past culture is pretty cool, using architecture and images of society from past decades or even centuries inspires and the audience to look back in time when admiring this design.

The Abiltity to construct meaning from visual images and type, Example 10

Harmony



these simple pleasant colours and the slow curving type translate into a harmonious image which is exactly what is intended; a road to harmony. the addition of calming symbols of relaxed imagery intensifies the theme of harmony.
