Session 3 notes on creative histories and industries

Today we looked at Graphic design and the history. What is a sign ? "Something which stands to somebody in some capacity." That was said by Charles Sanders Pierce in 1977.

We looked at sign language and some art work that contains signs.

We looked at the social role of graphic design. We also looked at the visual style like the importance of ideas and communication process, not distinguishing between visual creation and visual manipulation.

We looked at graphic design in the 2009 and seen images of this. I also learnt that advertising design is meant to make people buy products or services. Graphic design is also the first human communication. My task for this week is to identify at least 4 events/exhibits etc that i will be visiting between now and xmas break and post details.
