Nowadays posters are everywhere: they have become an intrinsic part of our daily lives. Health warnings are displayed on bilboards; advertisements for upcoming concerts are plastered on walls; the grinning faces of political canditates are attached to streetlamps come election time; and models promoting the latest fashion collections smile down on busy shoppers in malls. No student flat would be complete without Jim Fitzpartrick's famous 'Che Guevara' picture or the 'Dark Side of the Moon' poster from Pink Floyd.
With the multitude of posters around, it appears hard to find originality nowadays. Yet there is a wealth of international poster design out there, created by professionals and amateurs alike. Poster Design 2 is a collection of the best original posters around today.
The term 'Logo' derives from the Greek logos meaning 'word' or 'sign'. This etymology could not be more apt, for the amalgamation of text and image is the very definition of a modern logo. A successful logo must be distinctive, memorable, simple and must represent the given brand appropriately. All great logos around today fulfill these requirements. Everyone can identify the cursive, playul typeface of Coca-Cola set against a red background, designed by Frank Mason Robinson in 1885. The five interlinked circles which represent the Olympic Games are immediately recognisable; Apple Inc.'s stylised, bitten apple is known worldwide and the simple circular design of BMW's logo is now synonymous with elegance and quality within the automobile market.
There is an incredible depth and quality to logo design today, but there is still plenty of scope for innovative within this field, as our new publication displays. Logo 3 showcases the best of current international logo design and provides inspirational material for aspiring young designers.
