Ikko Tanaka 1980

Ikko Tanaka
is considered the most important contemporary Japanese graphic designer. He was born in Nara in 1930. – Jan 11 2002. After studying in Kyoto and working for the newspaper Osaka Sankei Shimbun he founded his own studio in Tokyo in 1963 which still exists. His oeuvre consists of posters, books, lettering and packaging design, as well as the corporate identity of many Japanese and international groups, but also includes experimental forms of calligraphy and interior design. Tanaka's work combines in a fascinating way the visual language of modernism with elements of Japanese tradition. Many of his posters are counted among the classics of modern poster design.

Ikko Tanaka, fusion of Japanese tradition and the International Style contributed a modern sensibility to Japanese poster and publication design, he succeeded in marrying past and present in graphic compositions that were strong and clean, colorful and playful and unerringly precise. He borrowed the simple shapes and patterns of ancient arts and incorporated them into designs that were definitely of his time and place.

In 1988 Thames & Hudson published the first of two volumes about his work, which became the world's best selling graphic design book. Combined sales now exceed 120,000. An accompanying exhibition of his work at the Victoria and Albert Museum attracted over 40,000 visitors before touring Europe and Japan.



In 1994, together with business partner Fwa Richards, Brody launched Research Studios, London. Since then studios have been opened in Paris, Berlin with plans to open a New york studio.

Post 11: 1980s-90s - David Carson - Chris Nowlan

In 1983, Carson started to experiment with graphic design and found himself immersed in the artistic and bohemian culture of Southern California. By the late eighties he had developed his signature style, using "dirty" type and non-mainstream photography. He would later be dubbed the "father of grunge." He became renowned for his inventive graphics in the 1990s. As art director of surfing magazines and more famously style magazine Ray Gun (1992-5), Carson came to worldwide attention. His layouts featured distortions or mixes of 'vernacular' typefaces and fractured imagery, rendering them almost illegible. 

Indeed, his maxim of the 'end of print' questioned the role of type in the emergent age of digital design, following on from California New Wave and coinciding with experiments at the Cranbrook Academy of Art. In the later 1990s he shifted from 'surf subculture' to corporate work for Nike, Levis, and Citibank. Carson became interested in a new school of typography and photography-based graphic design and is largely responsible for popularizing the style; he inspired many young designers of the 1990s. His work does not follow "traditional" graphic design standards. 

Carson is emotionally attached to his creations. Carson's work is considered explorative of thoughts and ideas that become "lost" in the subconscious. Every piece is saturated, but Carson still manages to communicate both the idea and the feeling behind his design. His extensive use of combinations of typographic elements and photography led many designers to completely change their work methods and graphic designers from all around the world base their style on the new “standards” that have 

distinguished Carson's work.

European graphic design from the early days in 1960 and 1970's is a powerful inspiration source for designers all over the world. The new graphic design movement, also known as swiss graphic design or International typographic style that emphasizes cleanliness, readability and objectivity has had a huge impact on all areas of design ever since it was developed in Switzerland in the 50’s. The typical large, straight typography, sophisticated grid systems and a simple, clear message are all useful ingredients when designing web sites as well.

1980's - Emigre Magazine / Sumner Stone - Robyn Rand

Emigre Magazine

The Emigre Magazine is a graphic design magazine published by Emigre graphics, lasting between 1984 and 2005, founded in California. 

Emigre Graphics is an independent design association founded in 1984, the founders took advantage of the Apple Mac computers ability to design digital typefaces without the need of typesetting equipment. The graphic designers began designing fonts that, rather then trying to imitate letterpress technology, took advantage of bitmap design, dot matrix printing and vector based design.

The Emigre Magazine provided an outlet showcasing the potential of it's typeface designs and was well known for it's graphical experimentation. The magazine had a huge influence on graphic designers who were moving into desktop publishing with it's typestyles, layouts, gust designers and articles.

The magazine was initially inspired by ITC's 'U&lc' and the Dutch magazine 'Hard Werken'. The idea of the magazine was to feature the work of artists, designers, writers etc.. who were emigrants and had experience from working in other countries. In the late 80's and early 90's the font sales became enough for the Emigre design company to concentrate wholy on the licensing and marketing of their fonts.

"The Digital Revolution"

Post 11 by Melissa Mackie

By the mid- 1990's, The Transition of graphic design from a drafting-table activity to an onscreen computer activity was virtually complete.

Software for Apple's 1984 Macintosh computer, such as the MacPaint program by computer programmer Bill Atkinson and graphic designer Susan Kare, had a revolutionary human interface.

Tool icons controlled by a mouse or graphics table enabled designers and artists to use computer graphics in an intuitive manner.

The Digital revolution in graphic design was followed quickly by public access to the internet. A whole new area of graphic design activity mushroomed in the mid 1990's when internet commerce became a growing sector of the global economy, causing organisations and businesses to scramble to establish Web sites.

In the 1940’s this illustration by Haines Hall was to showcase their helium
product and their contribution to the war effort. Blimps were in common use
for graphic designers during WWII, mostly as a deterrent to air attacks.





With a country at war, martial images were commonly depicted in advertising. These are two covers from Western Advertising during the war years. You can see here the Patterson & Sullivan range from realistic to comedic— they could do it all.



Artist Bruce Bomberger's distinctive style, masterful staging, and composition helped brand Southern Pacific advertising. These advertisements are from 1944 and 1949, the copy on the lower ad mentions Pearl Harbor, which was a recent event at the time.




1957, 1958. Many artists worked on the Chevrolet account, such as Stan Galli, Bruce Bomberger and Charles Allen. Dozens of brightly colored paintings were created, mostly featuring the automobiles on scenic highways of the United States

Post 10: 1960s - Saul Bass - Chris Nowlan

Saul Bass (May 8, 1920 – April 25, 1996) was an American graphic designer and Academy Award-winning filmmaker, but he is best known for his design on animated motion picture title sequences. Bass's work was in high demand during the early '60s and he designed the titles of many major films. He also worked as visual consultant on such films as Spartacus and West Side Story. His innovative work was responsible for launching a trend for filmmakers to employ animation and graphic designs in their credit sequences.

 

By mid-decade, tastes had changed and Bass's work for Hollywood became increasingly infrequent. Still he and his firm have had great influence, particularly on American advertising, as Bass is responsible for many well-known corporate logos of the '60s. Bass also made a few documentary shorts, notably the Oscar-winning Why Man Creates (1968). His company also designed gas stations in Japan.
