Ewald Spieker
Ewald Spieker was born on the 31st August 1950 in Amsterdam. He is a Typographer who is based in the Netherlands. Here is a piece of his work that he has created:
This piece of work is called You Are The One, I like this piece of artwork that he has created because the build up of the letters allow the beginning of each word to stand out on top of the word that has been created. I think that this is a good idea because it shows the importance of each word that the name means to people. I think that the typeface that has been used for the design is very bold and easy to see, which means that the design will defiantly stand out well to the target audience, which I also think is very important when designing a typographic Poster. The colour scheme that has been used for the design is very basic but neutral, however I think that you could use a brighter colour to brighten up the Poster and attract the target audience to take more interest in the Poster design.
Josua Reichert
Josua Reichert was born in 1937 in Stuttgart, Germany. He is a German Typographer, Graphic Designer and an Author. Here is a piece of typography that he created:
I like this piece of artwork that Josua Reichert has created because it is very simple and basic because it has been created with simple shapes and has been produced with bright and bold block colour, which I found was interesting, as I thought that the colours will attract the target audience very easily. I think that this design is nice, however I wondered what the design would look like if text was added to the design, I think that this could added more detail to the design.
Hendrick Werkman
Hendrick Werkman was born on the 29th April 1882 in Leens and died in Allardsoog on the 10th April 1945. Hendrick Werkman was a Dutch Artist, Typographer and Graphic Designer. Here is a piece of his artwork that he has created:
This piece of artwork that Hendrick Werkman had created reminds me of the artwork style known as Bauhaus because of the bold and block colours and the way that the blocks and shapes have been positioned on the Poster design. I think that the colours of the design are very bright and bold, which I think are very attractive and well interest the target audience that this design is going to be aiming towards. I think that the layout of the design is very creative and professional and expresses a lot of structure that the design is a very strong piece of work.
Ken Garland
Ken Garland was born in 1929 in Southampton. He is a Graphic Designer, Photographer and Writer.
Here is a piece of his work that he has created:
I like this design that Ken Garland has created because I think that the colours of the design is very bold and make the design stand out very well to the target audience that this design is aiming towards. I think that the colours that have been used for this design remind me of the art style Bauhaus because the main colours that are used within this style are Red and Black. I think that these colours stand out well, as they're very bold and bright. I think that the typeface that has been used for this design is very bold and stand outs well on the design. I think that it is important to choose a font style that is very bold and stands out to the target audience, so it will be easy for them to read and understand. I think that the positioning of the design is very creative and professional, which I may take inspiration from when designing my own work.
Craig Ward
Craig Ward was born in August 1981 in Boston, Lincolnshire, United Kingdom. Who is now based in New York, he is Author, Designer and Typographer. Here is a piece of his work that he has created, which I liked to look at:
I like this piece of artwork that he has created because it is very different to the other designers that I have looked at. I think that the artwork that has been created for the design is relevant to the words that Craig has used for his typographic design. I think that it is very important when designing your artwork because you always want to have a good connection with your design work. My favourite part about this design is the typeface that he has used for the typography because it is very bold, stands out well and is easy to read, even if the words as slightly blown for an effect. Another part that I like about this design is the colour of the words that has been used, which is the colour black because it is very bold and stands out on the paper that it is featured on. I think that in the future I am going to take inspiration from this design for my own design work.
Lo Siento Studio
Lo Siento Studio is a Graphic Design Studio that specialises in Print, Typography, Packaging, Editorial, lettering and more. Here is a piece of their artwork that is very inspirational:
I like this design because it is very different to the other designers work that I have looked at because this design has been created using a 4D design. I think that this design is very creative and different, I also think that this design is very professional because the design look like it has been thought about very well and has had a lot of time put into this design for it to be created. I think that I am going to take inspiration from this design when I create my design work because taking your time is the key to perfection when it comes to design work, however sometimes you don't have a lot of time but you still need to make sure your design isn't rushed so it can be professional and attractive to the target audience, that you will be aiming your designs towards.
Within this work this workshop we were told that we weren't going to be using the computers within this workshop, however we would be using Pencils, Paper and other materials within the workshop. Our first task that we were given was to produce sketches that the would display the word, within this task we had to use our imagination come up with designs that would relate well to the word that we were designing. These words included Ballon, Sad, Bounce, however once we had completed this task we had to think about words of our own. Within this task we had to look at ways that the image and the words would connect in a particular way.
The task that we were given was to think about how we could display a word in a typographic way. The word that I decided to work with was 'Space' I liked this word because you could look at the meaning of this word in several ways, which were the space between each letter, each word and the space between people. The other side to space was the universe and the planets, that are located in Space. Whilst we were having dinner I decided to pick up some art supplies that may come in useful to me when designing the typographic design, these supplies were glitter card, shiny card (gold and silver) and coloured paper and card. I started off by using the computer to print out my word that I wanted to create, I found it hard to think about how wanted to display the word within the design because I wanted to use the letter C, as ring like it was wrapped around a letter to display a planet. However I was told to place the C around the letter E, as it would look better and have a more understanding of what the word would look like.
I then decided to create the word Space using a different material, which was paint. I decided to use paint because I thought it was very different and creative, the colours that I had used represented the galaxy. To be a little more creative, I decided to use a straw to blow the paint and create an effective design that the target audience would like.
Overall I am glad that I attended this workshop because I was able to explore new skills and improve on my existing ones. I also found that this workshop was fun and very different.
