Works of graphic designers
Milton Glaser
Angels in America:
The first image is symbolic and represents the theme of America and angels well. The colour scheme is very simplistic, using black, white and shades of grey. In this image he uses the gestalt principle of continuation as it still follows the same structure of the letter A and is easy to interpret.
This piece was a cover made for Phillip Roth. Again like most of Glaser's other works it follows a simplistic design and colour scheme however is still attractive. By using the gestalt principles of continuation and figure & ground it looks as if the beam of light is passing through the stage and onto the text below, illuminating it.
This logo was made for Stony Brook university and again we see how simplicity can be an effective tool. He uses the colour theory well by keeping each individual letter O a contrasting colour on the colour wheel. in this uses the gestalt principles of closure and continuation with the full closed O's and lines passing through and following through to the next O

Self Expression concept
The concept for this self expression poster is everything that defines who I am in relation to the words me designer. The poster consists of silhouettes representing what I believe to be the quintessential objects and images that define each of these categories for me. These include: Film, photography, gaming, animation as well as automotive design and engineering.
First off representing film, is the clapper centred at the top of the poster. I chose to use this as the use of film media is something that I consume on a regular basis, and all parts of the design process from from pre to post production are things I am interested in and plan to do in the future. For photography I chose to use an outline of a person aiming a camera at all the other objects in my poster, I used a beam of light coming out of each camera to encompass the objects and tie them together. I used photography as it is another passion I have. The Mickey mouse head was used to represent animation, I chose to use him as watching things made by Disney is what made me first want to follow a career and study in animation. The car that I have drawn on the poster is the McLaren P1 GTR which was designed by a team lead by Frank Stephenson, the reason I used it was for its design and how it relates to me as an aspiring car modeller. The last thing I used to represent the me designer theme was the logo of the Mortal Kombat series of games, the story and themes in this game are what initially drew me to the design industry as I wanted to be a game developer before settling with animation.
