Study Notes

Art vs. Design

  • Art is the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form. Works are appreciated for their beauty and emotional power.
  • Design often considers aesthetic, functional, economic, and sociopolitical dimensions of both the object and process. Design is about creating, fashioning, executing, or constructing according to a plan.

Good Art

  • Inspirational: Art has emotional context and sparks questions. Its meaning varies based on individual experiences and emotions.
  • Interpretive: Art is judged subjectively, its interpretation varies.
  • Taste-driven: Art is judged by personal opinion and taste.
  • Talent-driven: Artistic ability is often innate, though it can be cultivated or refined.
  • Unique Message: Art exists as self-expression, attempting to communicate a message, but it's not always a factual message, but rather a feeling.

Good Design

  • Motivational: Good design motivates a person to do something or display a message directly.

Logo Design

  • Purpose: A logo is a graphic symbol for instant public recognition. It's a flag, signature, or symbol.
  • Meaning from Symbol: The logo derives its meaning from the quality of the thing it represents, and not the other way around.

    • 1930s-1980s: Designers like Paul Rand, Milton Glaser, and Alan Fletcher revolutionized the industry.
    • Modern logos (1980s-present): Emphasize simplicity, flexibility, and memorability.
  • Logo Design Process:
    • Design brief: Client interview or questionnaire.
    • Research: Industry analysis, competitor research, and relevant trends.
    • Reference: Logo design research.
    • Sketching and Conceptualizing.
    • Reflection and revisions: Feedback, and further development.
