International Modern Style Poster




The International Modern Style's minimalistic style has been utilized by marketing giants to grow recognition to their corporation brand.  This has been occurring since this sort of overall company branding first began to become common place during this era.  I used the Chanel logo because of its simplicity and it's wide global recognition as an clothing brand and as a status symbol.  Many Companys including Chanel, use the effectiveness of the simplistic logo to enhance the brand's name.  It gives ultimate power to the corporation and by doing so is creating this materialistic society that we live in today.

Graphic Design Manifesto:


Designers are a huge part of creating mainstream culture.  They express all sorts of communication through various outlets, and to every kind of demographic out there. This gives us immense power and responsibility as it heavily influences society. Personally I could not create a good design for something that conveys a message that I would not be willing to stand for. It is hard to put into words but when I design I try to immerse myself as much as possible to try and understand the message and represent it as truly as possible.  If this message was something I could not agree with I don’t know that anything decent would come out of it.  In my future design career I hope to never disregard any of my current ethical standings and give into greed, but instead pursue jobs that better mankind and say something that I would want my name associated with.
