He was one of only a few American designers to lay claim to the modernist traditions of Cubism, de Stijl, Constructivism and the Bauhaus, and was influential in bringing what was called the New Typography -- the rejection of archaic and sentimental type and layout treatments -- to the United States.</span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: left;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000066;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: left;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000066;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Rand’s distinctive style was a result of his talent and extensive design education.

Balance, uniformity and equilibrium of spacing were the three common elements of Paul Rand’s typography related work. And he excelled at that, as seen in his logos for IBM, EF and Yale University Press.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:16px;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000066;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:16px;"> <img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 283px; height: 66px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-38LZkI8oXHQ/Tcd4SLIUl7I/AAAAAAAAAGo/OzQnFzlQlxs/s400/images-7.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604580514906544050" /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:16px;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:16px;"></span></p><p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#990000;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#990000;">http://www.nenne.com/typography/pr1.html</span></p><p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#990000;">http://www.answers.com/topic/paul-rand</span></p><p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#990000;">http://www.nytimes.com</span></p><p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#990000;">http://www.scribd.com</span></p><p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#990000;">http://www.google.com.au</span></p><p></p></span></span><p></p>Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13376463854225437786noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3710009151683074770.post-60977645926898507932011-05-08T17:30:00.000-07:002011-05-08T18:32:58.935-07:00RAND LOGOS Hemensley<img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 135px; height: 169px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wcOvhUgq-Gk/TcdDi8gcrJI/AAAAAAAAAGI/2I9YUyjcKps/s400/ups.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604522528922709138" /><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 229px; height: 162px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ic7wJ22gTHk/TcdDjDv0_bI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/2L09DLRBQuU/s400/images-9.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604522530866265522" /><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 345px; height: 340px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4LTNCoWUAOY/TcdDitpvD9I/AAAAAAAAAF4/ps-L3-etl6s/s400/enron.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604522524935131090" /><br /><br /><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#003333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Indisputably, Rand’s most widely known contribution to graphic design are his corporate identities, many of which are still in use. IBM, ABC, Cummins Engine, Westinghouse, and UPS, among many others, owe their graphical heritage to him. His American Broadcasting Company trademark, created in 1962, epitomizes that ideal of minimalism while proving Rand’s point that a logo “cannot survive unless it is designed with the utmost simplicity and restraint.”. His designs reflect the style of the mid to late 20th century —simplicity, neutrality, clarity—all part of the vocabulary of the Modernist period.</span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#003333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#003333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">In the decade following the end of the Second World War multinational corporations started to spring up.

Philosopher Walter Benjamin called writers to take up the camera; the intention behind Ellen's own study of design history and theory is to eventually influence designers to take up writing. Benjamin’s “author-as-producer” would have been able to juxtapose image and text; the skills of a graphic designer/writer would allow her not only to juxtapose but also to penetrate: to analyse images with the “language” of both words and graphics, and to determine the format in which a message might be framed. Despite the hostility expressed towards writing in these brilliant and influential textbooks of design, the notational “vocabulary” of form that develops out of them is rich in associative, culturally communicative meaning. The visual “language” of the diagram, as demonstrated by the some of the examples of graphic design published in Kepes’s text, is not a transparent filter for self-evident meaning, but rather a transforming, metaphoric code.</p><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yQ1CwjoNN3g/TZEzCbqofRI/AAAAAAAAASM/vhVGv3yPPoI/s1600/Screen%2Bshot%2B2011-03-29%2Bat%2B11.44.20%2BAM.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yQ1CwjoNN3g/TZEzCbqofRI/AAAAAAAAASM/vhVGv3yPPoI/s400/Screen%2Bshot%2B2011-03-29%2Bat%2B11.44.20%2BAM.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589304729422822674" style="cursor: pointer; width: 350px; height: 359px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Ellen teachers us </b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>to consider the whole</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>page as an artwork</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>with a purpose.</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: right;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-large;">Design with expressive readability.</span></span></b></div></div><div style="text-align: right;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;"><br /></span></span></b></div><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9ZkZPuNX1Rw/TZJg09koLzI/AAAAAAAAATU/A7AFPRLN1_A/s1600/lupton3_427.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9ZkZPuNX1Rw/TZJg09koLzI/AAAAAAAAATU/A7AFPRLN1_A/s320/lupton3_427.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589636550517862194" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 225px; " /></a></div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-w--sua8pov8/TZEyqFaUxMI/AAAAAAAAARs/kdRd8GTdZXo/s1600/Screen%2Bshot%2B2011-03-29%2Bat%2B11.59.35%2BAM.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-w--sua8pov8/TZEyqFaUxMI/AAAAAAAAARs/kdRd8GTdZXo/s400/Screen%2Bshot%2B2011-03-29%2Bat%2B11.59.35%2BAM.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589304311131980994" style="cursor: pointer; width: 289px; height: 87px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: right;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-w--sua8pov8/TZEyqFaUxMI/AAAAAAAAARs/kdRd8GTdZXo/s1600/Screen%2Bshot%2B2011-03-29%2Bat%2B11.59.35%2BAM.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-w--sua8pov8/TZEyqFaUxMI/AAAAAAAAARs/kdRd8GTdZXo/s1600/Screen%2Bshot%2B2011-03-29%2Bat%2B11.59.35%2BAM.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"> </a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-large;">" There are rules people.

So when Scher first came onto the scene with her fresh new approach to typography within her poster work she quickly became famous in New york within the design community and eventually a style recognizable by the NYC public, to the point where her typography was coppied and used for a particular purpose or style.</div><div>The following images are perfect examples of Schers contribution and style to typography. Her main area was poster work for the arts in NYC which were loud and cluttered and extremely effective.

At a very young age he started painting signs for his father’s grocery store as well as for school events. Rand’s father did not believe art could provide his son with a sufficient livelihood, and so he required Paul to attend Manhattan’s Harren High School while taking night classes at the Pratt Institute, though neither of these schools offered Rand much stimulation. Despite studying at Pratt, Parsons and the art students league. Rand was by-and-large “self-taught as a designer.</span></span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 18.0px 0.0px; line-height: 18.0px; font: 12.0px Georgia; color:#333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">As Orthodox Jewish law forbids the creation of graven images that can be worshiped as idols, Rand’s career creating icons of global capitalism seemed unlikely. He decided to camouflage his overtly Jewish identity shortening his forename to ‘Paul’ and taking ‘Rand’ from an uncle to form his new surname. . So he became Paul Rand.

They used to use it just as a band. I always called that type and stripe when a corporation takes a typeface and sticks a band down the side of everything to make it look the same. So I spent two and a half years selling a logo and trying to get this company to accept the notion of the expansiveness of this blue.

I respect it well, and nod appreciatively in its direction, but will never give it a full hug and bro-like pat on the back. It is not a mistrust I speak of, I am just wary and eye it as I would a door to door salesman or a Williamsburg hipster with white-rimmed sunglasses. Typography for me is never how the words look. For us visual ladies and fellows this is, of course, almost inverse thinking, but, follow me, my thought is this: it is what words sound like. Each choice of different face is a lilt, an accent, it gives a word a slightly different vibrato and pitch. With this in mind, words become emotion, or even the very lack of emotion. Words, depending on our choices of font, have meaning, irony, force, a palpable whisper, possibly even empathy. We, being in charge of typography, and not the other way around, cannot let a typeface, with its own cultural baggage, depict what we want to say. We don’t lean upon cursive to mean “fancy,” nor rest up on old-reliable stencil to mean “travel” or “war,” and so on. We often spend endless hours looking for that “perfect-meaning” font, deep inside knowing that there is none and our choices ultimately come from fatigue or downright laziness." </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';color:#666666;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:x-large;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';color:#666666;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:x-large;"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 135px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9M-TiT2UGl0/TYfWe911fyI/AAAAAAAAAJw/bEZaY30Iiqg/s200/35519_02.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5586669690261176098" /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';color:#666666;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:x-large;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">James Victore's work is unmistakably his.

Even with that caveat, it’s evident that Glaser’s heavily stylized type, with an emphasis on three-dimensionality, has had a lasting effect on the design of many subsequent display types. Glaser’s typefaces combine Pushpin-era Deco motifs with conventions adapted from hand-painted signs, but share a tendency to imbue generic letterforms with geometric dimension.</span></span><div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jqkYfY0QMIw/TYfQXRssXxI/AAAAAAAAAGk/einynwhAkqc/s400/493.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5586662961082818322" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#666666;">Babyteeth is one of Glaser’s earliest and most successful typefaces — used in his most famous poster —alongside many other notable music promotions, such as the poster for Mahalia Jackson at Lincoln Center. In Milton Glaser Graphic Design, he provides an origin story:</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#666666;">The inspiration for my Babyteeth type face came from this sign I photographed in Mexico City. It’s an advertisement for a tailor. The E was drawn as only someone unfamiliar with the alphabet could have conceived. Yet it is completely legible. I tried to invent the rest of the alphabet consistent with this model.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 301px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WIsB-ww9fk8/TYfRCw3XTXI/AAAAAAAAAGs/KrWUsBDESkg/s400/498.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5586663708183448946" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#666666;">In the same volume, Glaser notes that Baby Fat inspired his approach to his famous Simon and Garfunkel poster of 1967: that is, rather than the type following the example of the graphic, the reverse happened—the shape of the letters dictated the treatment of the figures.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 302px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8rT_kbW2R14/TYfVJfB-SCI/AAAAAAAAAG0/_oPdlrEHXlE/s400/495.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5586668221701703714" /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#666666;">The Hologram typeface was an idea Glaser says had been in his head for a while before he had a chance to actually make use of it.

It was in this periodical that</span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#333333;"> </span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#333333;">Rand learned about the practice of, and the term, graphic design.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#333333;"><br /></span></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#333333;">Rand</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#333333;">'s first of three careers was in media promotion and cover design.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#333333;">In 1936 Rand was hired as a freelance-designer to produce layouts for “Apparel Arts”, a men’s fashion magazine.

That kind of design was not popular in the United States at the time, and the magazine became seminal for that graphic style. Too bad it did not last beyond issue number five."
