What is Graphic Design?

Some people have a very clear definition of what graphic design is.... i am not one of those people, graphic design to me is a world of opportunities, i believe that absolutely anything can be made/designed under the title of graphic design. from advertising to kitchen knives.









The fundamental principle behind graphic design however to me is communication. generally visually communicating to the public whether that be by designing street signs or shaving into someones head.



The conventional ideas of graphic design have always lead me to dwell upon meaning and concept. i find thinking of the appropriateness of everything very stressful and prefer when designers just do what they like. literally design for designs sake.







I guess if we all carried on just designing what we wanted for ourselves we would all be out of a job

Progress Report [Speaking from experience]

Iv still got quite a bit to do, and really need to learn how to put descent moving text into my frames but i had a go at After Effects today and bloody hell it was confusing lol. For the rest of the night i plan to film 3 more shots and start editing them, hopefully it will all go to plan....... wish me luck and enjoy the video so far:



Since the last installment i have added the animated section which introduces Morrisons, i feel that this runs a lot smoother than jumping straight into stop motion photography. i have also re-shot the free software section and changed the transition idea from removing the text from the screen to removing the text and then putting it back and the text has changed. iv also neatened up some general editing.
