Hulton Deutsch

Hulton Deutsch is another company i found who take old famous photographs or images, sell them to a library,people buy there work and use it without the use of copyright.
Hulton seem he focus on the time of the war and and also black and white images, this is also something i would like to do.

Aperture

When researching images and layouts i found a magazine called creative review, the magazine was good because of the layouts and the structure of the text. The images didn't really interest me that much but but the colours did, the magazine consists of the same layout all the way through using pink and black text. Creative Review is a graphic magazine which therefore consists of some 3D images but mainly 2D.
The layout is also split into sections using sub-headings, these are much larger and use bolder and thicker font. Throughout the magazine other companies,artists or designers post their names or logos on the page in which their work is displayed on This has inspired me with my blog such as, text and headings to give my blog more character.







As i continued my research i looked at a magazine called Aperture and found this to be a magazine on black and white photography, something else i am very fond of. This magazine contains lots of black and white photography and also small amounts of fashion photography. One of the artists i found was Richard Brody, who involved alot of his photography with film making and directing. Another one of his styles of photography is having a short depth of field and focusing on the main character/object which makes the backdrop blurry.

Blog Research

I have a Passion for photography and fashion and while doing my research i came across a fashion photography blog http://www.fashionphotographyblog.com/. I like the images n this blog but i also really like the layout and the colours in which the creator has used.

I found another blog http://glass.typepad.com/, yet again i like the layout t his bog it is very simple, effective and easy to use but wasn't very interested in the contents of this blog.

This time the blog i chose wasn't because of the layout or the images but more for the blog logo and background and will use blogs like this for inspiration. http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/

JCD blog http://justcreativedesign.com/ is very professional and i really like the layout to it i also like the colours they work very well against each other.

I also like this blog because of the layout once again i also like the title and the colours it's very eye catching and vibrant . http://www.graphicdesignblog.co.uk/

The Festival Of Britain 1950s

In 1951, just six years after World War II, Britain’s towns and cities still showed the scars of war that remained a constant reminder of the turmoil of the previous years. With the aim of promoting the feeling of recovery, the Festival of Britain opened on the 4th May 1951, celebrating British industry, arts and science and inspiring the thought of a better Britain. This also happened to be the same year they celebrated the centenary, almost to the day, of the 1851 Great Exhibition. Coincidence? I think not!

Abram Grames

As a graphic designer research is one of the best sources of planning, so we traveled to Sheffield Hallam University to view his work. The exhibition not only showed his main work but also showed his planning and notes in which he had created to reach his final and most famous pieces of work.
