Graphic Design In The Urban Transportation Environment, Ozlem Yildirim-Dessauer
Graphic Design In The Urban Transportation Environment, Ozlem Yildirim-Dessauer
Theses
This thesis focuses on various design problems facing graphic designers who design visual messages for urban transportation environments, specifically bus and subway systems. The urban transit environment poses a unique challenge for designers because it is multidimensional, and the audience is in constant motion. As David Bernstein describes the transit environment: "It's up, down, all around, in the sky, underground..." (Bernstein, 1997, p. 9). Added to this unique challenge of capturing the audience's fleeting attention span, designers also face problems of space limitations, poor lighting, chaotic placement of posters, and lack of a cohesive visual plan for a transit venue. …

Concepts Of Science Fiction In Graphic Design: Concepts Of Science Fiction Applied To Graphic Design Problem Solving, Nawarat Teeraprasert
Concepts Of Science Fiction In Graphic Design: Concepts Of Science Fiction Applied To Graphic Design Problem Solving, Nawarat Teeraprasert
Theses
This thesis examines how the futuristic ideas in science fiction literature can be applied to graphic design. The paradigm that creates the connection between mind and emotion in science fiction, such as recurring images, pattern, space and time can be described as signifiers, the triggers of imagination, which can also function in graphic design as object orientation. By combining elements and models within science fiction systems with the theory of perception, a new approach to graphic design problem solving will be created.

Graphic Design And Architecture At Their Intersection, Kathleen Kaminski
Graphic Design And Architecture At Their Intersection, Kathleen Kaminski
Theses
This thesis will explore the increasingly important role played by graphic design in architecture. Traditionally thought of as a two-dimensional applied art, graphic design has relevant applications in the design of places. This is sometimes known as environmental graphic design. The premise of this investigation is that by extending graphic design into the world of architecture, both disciplines are strengthened. Graphic design in an architectural context benefits from a more long-lasting medium, in material and duration, than its more common forms in print, film or digital media. Architecture, in its turn, gains another way to communicate to an audience, one …
