Modernism

This is some work which is apart of the Neue Grafik magazine designs which are very structured, these stick of the grid section which designers have there as a basis for the work. The way that the left hand side of the text stays structured but the right is always jagged gives this a nice effect to when you look at it. This is inspiring to me and makes me want to read it. the way that the left hand side images are very neat and computerised and then the text to the right would be describing this, this magazine design has a reputation for only publishing things which are new design such as photography or printed to keep it looking neat and precise.


This is the front cover to the magazine which i was talking about above, this still sticks to the grid system which it follows by, this makes it all link together and thus creating a stronger outcome as a complete piece of design. 

This is a design from Man Ray and the name of it is "Gun with Alphabet" this is done on some photographic paper and which gives a different edge to the work that is created. The way in which this works is a light is shined onto the paper whilst the items are layered on top and then it develops, when the items are taken away this is the given outcome. This to me could be used as a strong piece of design as when text is added it could become a strong piece of design. 

This design is from an artist called lissitzky, the way in which he has created this style of work is similar to the work of Man Ray, the photographic paper was a strong choice back in the days when modernism was first getting brought into the design industry cause you could get some strong effects on it yet it was very simple to do. The way the style of "TINTE" has been laid over the top so it has gone pure white. this is a very way to create and draw attention towards it. I believe that this says Ink and is the key selling point for the advertisement and it works well due to the bold contrast.

This design is from Marius Turda, its a very basic design with the showing the red section is going somewhere as the red triangle is making its movement into the black area which has a positive space in the centre of the section. This shows how it could be going places or making a penetration, either way it also points to the text which is sat in this section, making it all highlighted and drawing you attention towards it, thus making this a successful piece of design.
