Graphic Design: Eastern And Western Design Elements In Visual Communication, Li-Ying Bao Jan 1992

Graphic Design: Eastern And Western Design Elements In Visual Communication, Li-Ying Bao

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

To pursue the combination of Eastern and Western aesthetics in visual communication, I came to study in the United States from China. As a graphic designer, the juxtaposition of my Chinese and American education and working experiences enable me to perceive and approach design works cross-culturally. My thesis is the continuous exploration of the affinity between Eastern and Western design elements in visual communication. In my design works, my intention is to combine the traditional Eastern design methodology, modern Western technology, and contemporary design theories to such an extent that these design elements could enrich each other and produce unique …


Under The Canopy Of Heaven, Ellen Ann Albanese Jan 1992

Under The Canopy Of Heaven, Ellen Ann Albanese

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

My thesis is that a variety of external stimuli both analytical and technical are synthesized in my art. By this process I am then motivated to give form to my paintings through a search for a unique personal experience. My thesis exhibition Under The Canopy Of Heaven consisted of eight mixed media and collage paintings on raw polyester and were a direct result of my observation and manipulation of this synthesis. The approach that motivated these paintings was two fold; one abstract, the principles of Feng Shui, and the other physical, the techniques of mixed media and collage on an …

Falling In Love, Lisa Diane Houha Jan 1992

Falling In Love, Lisa Diane Houha

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The series of paintings and drawings I have completed for my thesis exhibition, "Falling in Love," is the visual culmination of my personal approach to the creation of art: allowing a work to develop without the imposition of formal concerns. It is an autobiographical series, a visual journal, and approached with the belief that art comes from life and that my art comes specifically from my life. The subject and title of my research has to do with understanding feelings for myself, others, and my art through the process of making art. It is my observation that love is the …
