Visual Communication

What is meant by visual communication?

Visual communication is the practice of using visual elements to get a message across, inspire change, or evoke an emotion. Communication design refers to crafting a message that educates, motivates, and engages the viewer.

Graphic Design

Graphic Design and visual Communication are two different but related topics. Graphic design combines text, colour and images to create a piece of work that is visually appealing while being effective in the message it is trying to communicate.

When most people think of graphic design, they think of logos, advertisements, and other marketing materials. However, graphic design is more than just making things look pretty- it’s about communicating a message effectively. Good graphic designers are able to take complex concepts and make them easy to understand, using images and typography to create a cohesive design. They must also be able to balance aesthetics with usability, ensuring that the final product is both beautiful and functional.

Without Graphic designers the world would look very different from magazines to advertisement the laptop im wiritng this on might not be a thing. Companies like McDonalds, Ferrari or Nike might not be as popular. The companies themselves would still exist or have existed but without Graphic designers they might not have been as successful.

Saul Bass is an American graphic designer and the man who changed graphic design. I have admired Sauls work before i ever knew he was the creator and had the idea of just how big and broad the world of graphic design actually is. Saul was borin in 1920 in New York City where he attended college, in the 40s he left for California and started in advertising. Saul broke into the industry in 1954 working on the movie Carmen Jones, desgning the poster. The movie makers were so impressed they invited saul to design the title credits and rest they say is history

Before Bass got to work on them credit were considers slow and boring. his work revoluntionised this, Introducing his signature “kinetic type,” Bass’ letters dashed and moved across the screen and frequently incorporated images other than text.

Sadly Bass passed away in 1996 but not before finishing come of his most accomplished and recognised work. films like Cape Fear, Casino and Goodfellas may not have been as big as they were without the influence of one man from New York. when the question of how influential can one person be and where would the industry be without certain people, when is comes to Saul Bass the answers is easily not the same. Frome the development of his use of graphic designs to creating some of the most loved movie posters to furthering this passion and art into change the opening of movies for generations I can understand why Saul Bass in known as the man that changed graphic design and much more.

Illustration

The main purpose of Illustration through visual communication is to give context, explanation or interpretive take on information this can make taking in the information easier or sometimes more fun. This can take many forms and can be used in the use of books, movies, posters, flyers and other sorts of visual media.

illustration was sometimes seen less important to graphic design but through use of social media and resurgence in contemporary techniques such as digital design, printmaking, painting and drawing illustration has became increasingly more popular. Online artists are giving movie posters a new vision are using illuststration to create a new take on older artwork and all over Glasgow there are artists using graffiti to convey messages of hope and change through visual communication. These are just a couple of examples of how illustration can be used.

some examples of reworked movie posters through illustration.

Drew Struzan was born march 18th 1947 in Oregon. when Drew was younger he said his interests were between fine art and illustartion, his counsellor described fine art as being able to paint what Drew wanted but illustartion as being able to charge for it, Drews needed to eat so it was an easy choice from there. Struzan has said: "I was poor and hungry, and illustration was the shortest path to a slice of bread, as compared to a gallery showing. I had nothing as a child. I drew on toilet paper with pencils – that was the only paper around. Probably why I love drawing so much today is because it was just all I had at the time.

After graduating college Drew went to work at Pacific Eye & Ear a design studio where he would go on to design album covers, he went on to design album covers for Black Sabbath, The BeeGees and The Beach Boys. Despite the demand for his amazing artwork Drew was still only making £150-£250 per album.

Along with a friend, Drew started Pencil pusher when he would start to develop his love for one sheets working on some B movies like Empire of ants and Squirm.

In 1977 Drews world would unknowingly change forever we he was asked tom help assist on a unknown project called Star Wars. Drew chose a 'Circus' style for the poster and focused on the main characters, good and bad and items like the ships used in the movie.

Star Wars 1978 re-release style D "circus" poster. Art by Charles White III and Drew Struzan.

Throughout the 70s and 80s Drew worked on some of the biggest movies which are still loved today, These included The Thing, Blade Runner, Back to the Future, Indiana Jones and my all time favourite movie The Goonies.

Today Drew collects some of the biggest names in Hollywood direction such and Steven Speilberg, Gerorge Lucas and Guillmero Del Toro and is still working on some of the biggest movies including Star Wars; The Force Awakens and How to train your Dragon.

Photography

Photography can be a powerful tool for Visual communication. Visual language is older then any other language in the world. Photography can sometimes be the easiest was to communicate. Through a photo we can convay emotion, it can show acts of war, peace or love and although people may not enjoy reading, a photo can get a message across just as easy if not easier and does not have to be in any language. I like to think of photography as that famous saying being turned on its head that " The pen is mightier then than the sword" i like to think that the picture can be the mightier then the pen. It caputres moments in time and gives reference to the past that now with social media and the internet can be kept for lifetimes over.

"Still photographs are the most powerful weapon in the world"

Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Eddie Adams was on the streets of Saigon on the 1st February 1968 photographing the devastation of the war.

Alfred Eisenstaedt

"People tell me when i'm in heaven they will remember this picture"

Alfred Eisenstaedt’s mission through this photograph was to “to find and catch the storytelling moment.” In this post-WWII photograph in Times Square, he did just that.

Robert F Sargent

This photograph titled “Taxis to Hell- and Back- Into the Jaws of Death” was taken on June 6, 1944 during Operation Overlord, United States Coast Guard chief petty officer and “photographer’s mate.” The photograph was originally captioned.

“American invaders spring from the ramp of a Coast Guard-manned landing barge to wade those last perilous yards to the beach of Normandy. Enemy fire will cut some of them down. Their ‘taxi’ will pull itself off the sands and dash back to a Coast Guard manned transport for more passengers.”

The above is the Pulitzer Prize winning photo has become a well known image and symbol of American victory. Taken during the by Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal, it is one of the most reproduced, and copied, photographs in history.

During the battle, the soldiers took the flag to the highest point of the island - Mount Suribachi. U.S. Marine photographer Louis Lowery captured the original shot but several hours later, more Marines headed to the crest with a larger flag. It was on this second attempt, that the iconic image was snapped. Three of the six soldiers seen raising the flag in the famous Rosenthal photo were killed during the Battle of Iwo Jima.

These are just some references of different photographers over different time periods using photography to convey messages of Death, Happiness, love and in two pictures from the same war, bleakness and Victory, you wouldn't necessarily need to know anything about the context to understand the message an that why photography can be so powerful for visual communication.

Working in the Movie Poster industry -

There are loads of ways to get started in the industry. Some people will could already have and understanding of the three principles of graphic design, photography and illustration. If you don't there are courses that you can take gain a better understanding of each. other ways to gain a better understanding is in social media, there are plenty of companies that use the likes of social media and platforms like YouTube now where artists while give you a step by step breakdown of how to develop a reimagined take on a movie poster.

Through the use of tools like Adobe Creative there are ways to find a step by step guide on creating something from scratch. This can be done by artists that are just doing it for fun, to individuals and companies that have built a money making company for either the design and retake on a new movie poster to growing a fan base on just the process of creating the artwork. I think its incredible that now more the ever building careers in graphic design and making a profession in creating a selling movie poster can be done by an experienced graphic designer or just in interested being that has a passion for the art but doesn't necessarily have what would be deemed as qualifications.

The titled job role for designing movie posters would usually fall under a poster designer but for companies this would fall under the job of a graphic artist, production artist or illustrator like I have included above when discussing the likes of Saul Bass and Drew Struzan, both artists and have experience elsewhere in the industry but built a following in movie posters.

If you were in these roles it would be your job to work to a brief to design the ideal movie poster, this could be from the early stages of some mood boards and drawings to start to develop the layout. from here you would use your preferred systems to work with and start creating, along the design process you would be liaising with your company if you worked for one or if your self employed arrange check ins to make sure who you are designing for is happy with what has been created, this could mean at times going back to change pictures or the layout or making sure the typography fits. The movie posters final design can be just as important as the trailer of the movies itself, this can sometimes be the first thing that's going to grip people to check out the movie. With social media being as big a platform now for creators, as i have mentioned already there is a new trend of the redesign of movie posters, this could be someone who is just a fan of the of the original who would like to give a different spin on it or maybe just want to modernise it. This is a great way to be passionate about something, put your take on it and be able to turn it into something you can make money off and you don't even need to have any qualifications just a passion and know how but even as someone starting out there is so much opportunity online now to learn and grow a platform.

As things have changed over time so have movie posters, not only how they were designed like illustrations to graphic design but also the people have designed them and culturally what they show and the progression of how the world now turns, it probably hasn't turned fast enough but it is turning. Thankfully now there are more opportunities for an everyone and anyone take on movie poster which should be celebrated and supported to make even wider available, just like the world of cinema.

Industry Roles -

Sign Painting -

Sign painting dates back centuries, merchants, pub owners and inn keepers had to advertise there business and products they had to sell, signs where the perfect use of Visual communication to achieve this. By the 1900s every store needed a quality sign painter, forome of the biggest companies now like Dr Pepper and CocaCola this was a great advertising technique and really brought the company to life while giving the people something they could recognise as a brand.

Prop-Designer

More specifically Annie Atkins is a graphic designer for the film industry. Annie Atkins has worked on oscar nominated and wining movies in which her work would probably go unrecognised but plays big parts and roles within the movie. Annie is know for BoxTrolls, Isle of Dogs and The Grand Budapest Hotel in which Annie won an Academy Award for best production design.

Packaging Design

A package designer leads the the design process from the earliest stages they work on brainstorming the ideas. makes sketches and creating prototypes. They will work with the client throughout gaining feedback to make sure design specifications are met. A packaging designer will then work with the creative design team and graphic designers to help create eye catching designs. eventually they will present to the client they finished article from sketches to the design prototype, after this the client will give there feedback to which if necessary changes can be made to make sure the clients needs are met and a final piece can be deisgned.

Logo Design

Logo Designers tend to be graphic designers that usually work on a freelance, full time or for a design firm basis. A logo designer like a package designer had the job of working from a client brief in creating a final recognisable logo for a person or company, this could be from a barber to a coffeeshop to Nike. A designer has to make sure from start to finish all design needs are met at most will create sometimes 3 logos to give the client a choice, from there all or none of these might work for the client, if it doesnt it is the designers job to take the feedback on.

Umber Embers 9.18.21 “Where Did the Day Go?”

Weeks are filled with sidewalk days Pacing steps in a fugue-state haze Where the time bleeds like a marker Through each page, the colors getting darker

Shorten and lengthen each and every stride Avoid the cracks, ever since mother died Watch her rock back and forth in the den Was that yesterday, tomorrow, today, or when?

Where is the ending, Mr. Silverstein spoke of? Passed Shell stations on every corner, littered with doves This street is familiar, never having been driven Enough left turns, and the route might be forgiven

If you too bore of bleeding clocks Follow the path, out to the boardwalks Wave at the ocean, it will return in kind Shifting and sifting, unfettered by grind

When the night sky bares her sweetness In the water she’ll melt like sugar, disappear like Loch Ness Step upon the surface reflection Headed toward the horizon, of tomorrows hopeful direction

You Fuckin’ Hurt Me.

You fuckin' hurt me over and over does it stop? When will you learn, will you ever... I hope, but hope fades fast with reminders of the past. You fuckin' hurt me over and over does it stop? I can't handle the hurt smeared in love. Pain's gotten too much I'm too fucked up- Now there's no goin' back I'm too far off the beaten track. You fuckin' hurt me over and over does it stop? Cos you and I got a one way ticket and we aren't coming back. Not from the depths we know Not from the depths we'll go. You fuckin' hurt me. Now it'll stop.

(via The Sun)

THE SUN

When I behold you, I see the sun You’re like the rays beating down on lapping water Warming the surface and streaming through to caress the coldest depths of my sorrow

It may never be down here what it could up there, trapped within the forboding shadows of my mind But because I know you, I know warmth all the same Clouds may pass and block the path But still you’ll come another day

If I transformed to Icarus, knowing what would be when I flew too close to you, I’d do it anyway - I may burn, but you will shine on Its just that embracing for but a moment would be better than never feeling close to you at all

Yet..  maybe I am the sun A sun that’s blazing reach burns you, beautiful you venturing too close to me What then? Do you not feel the same when I am winged and soaring higher… If I hurt you with an overwhelming essence - red hot… Sides of a coin

A different me, a stronger me might be the person to protect you from such scorch that I too would willingly endure, reversed But I need you too much, selfishly - I am not another me

Knowing you best You’d stubbornly refuse to leave me alone in the desert I’m creating Depths of shadowed waters, drying up all the same

So I let you
