This comes with a magnificent account of the year’s exhibitions in Stockbridge and across the nation, educational and community programs, scholarship to advance illustration art, and curatorial achievements. This remarkable Museum does all of this and more, inspired by the values Norman Rockwell depicted in his iconic paintings. His works portray freedom, tolerance, humanity and kindness, integrity, honesty, and authenticity along with a joyfulness and celebration of life. These values inspire our visitors and staff alike. The Museum concluded its fiscal year on June 30, 2012 in a strong position. As noted a year ago, we eliminated our long-term debt. This year we are pleased to report that we have no short-term Norman Rockwell Museum President Anne Morgan borrowing on our balance sheet. Annual attendance at the Museum has generated good revenue, and and Chairman Thomas we saw nationwide interest and attendance grow for our traveling exhibition program as well. L. Pulling. We are especially grateful for the generosity of our members and donors who care so deeply for this national treasure in the Berkshires.

Welche Funktionen soll sie erfüllen? Und wie kann sie diese Ziele erreichen? Diese Fragen untersucht meine Diplomarbeit anhand praktischer Vergleiche. Ausgehend von Shakespeares »Macbeth« als Textgrundlage erarbeite ich passende Illustrationen für verschiedene Anwendungen und Kontexte wie Zeitungen, Plakate oder CDs. Über Komposi- tion, Farbgebung, Typografie und Technik wird die gewünschte Botschaft transportiert und ihre Wirkung auf den Betrachter – oft subtil und unbewusst – beeinflusst. Dabei soll der Stil dem Image und dem Selbstverständnis des Absenders entsprechen. Er muss auch mit den Erwartungen an das jeweilige Medium harmonieren. Kann man diese überlieferten Muster manchmal auch durch- kreuzen? Persönliche Motivation Nachdem ich im Hauptstudium und auch im Auslandsstudium immer Illustrationskurse belegt hatte, lag es nahe, mich auch in meiner Diplomarbeit mit diesem Themengebiet zu befassen.
