Lecture Notes - Graphic Design - A Medium for the Masses

Communication through images
Still frames or animated stories

William Addison Dwiggings
1890s
British graphic design very traditional
European graphic design much more modernist in style and forward thinking

Bauhaus one of the first places to teach graphic design principles
Swiss graphic design important and influential

Hitler forced traditional art
above modernist graphic design styles of art

Communist propaganda much more modern
Design in the UK and US seemed to become much more contemporary after 1945

Design starts becoming corporate
It starts becoming about mnaking money instead of communication

Quickly became a large divide between those who advertise
and those who use graphic design in an educated or philosophical way/
Intellectually/ Morally concious raising

graphic design quickly takes a 'Punk'
anti establishment movement during the 70's and onwards.

Adbusters founded in 1989 as large non-profit
anti consumer based organisation
