  • Adobe Indesign Introduction to Digital Humanities
    Platform Study Adobe InDesign Introduction to Digital Humanities 2015 Matt Higgins Design is mind control. Introduction Modernist designers sought to find universal concepts within design. They wanted to know how visual elements affected human beings on a psychological level. This is why the works of Modernists such as Josef Müller-Brockmann, El Lissitzky, and Jan Tschichold, feature basic colors and shapes. They believed stripping design down to its most basic elements would remove any sentiment or bias that certain visuals could produce and allow for an objective study on how humans are affected by design. There have been countless movements like Modernism. They have invariably found their way into design. Many of those movements would reject the principles of Modernism and their universals. But it is plain to see, regardless of philosophy or ideology, that design affects human beings. If it did not, why would we continue designing? The nature of graphic design has always been to communicate. To affect people. Fresh Dialogue Sagmeister & Walsh This differentiates it from traditional fine arts. Certainly a We can think of design in terms of verbal conversation. What painting can communicate. The medium only matters in how it words are spoken is just as important as how the words are relates to the relaying of the message. But we tend to think of spoken. Then we take into account body language. From there fine art as a form of self expression. The artists is much more we can list a whole host of factors beyond the words spoken that involved in the work.
