Abstract
This paper considers how graphic design was much influenced by technological developments in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and continues to be influenced by new developments in technology, with computer-aided graphic design being a current example. The paper further discusses how graphic design came into its own as a separate discipline in the late nineteenth century, though the art of arranging text and image to convey a message is much older in practice. Graphic design as a discipline came with the development of various technological shifts allowing for such arrangements on a mass scale through the arts of photography, printing, and widespread dissemination.

From the Paper
"The idea of improving the methods of designing came up on early years of the 1950s. Several young designers of that time were trying to position themselves as commercial artists who were trained in studio art programs as either painters or printmakers. These drastic changes in goal was inspired by several European designers who ensured that their practice is used in more ways than just by appending artistic devices in selling soaps or other consumer products. The said designers were also the ones who revealed that they serve as between the client and the public. They filter information with the pursuit of placing the contents into visual contexts thereby enabling broader understanding. The same designers from Europe paved the way for other designers and aspiring ones to earn deep respect from their predecessors and colleagues particularly during the 1950s up to the 1960s (Thornton, 1996 para 4)."

Abstract
This paper explains that there is evidence that color, especially the viewer's favorite colors, plays an important role in graphic design, especially print media and advertising. The author points out that color has symbolic meaning, which differ culturally: in western societies, white is seen as the traditional color for weddings but, in the Chinese culture, white is used for funerals; and, in America, red is often associated with rage or anger but in China red is used for happiness. The paper relates (1) the importance of graphic designers to study the role of color, how it makes people feel and why this is so significant and (2) the need for more research to understand this phenomena.

"The favorite color that an individual has is considered to say a great deal about them. It is important here to look at the most popular colors briefly and what they say about individuals. Black is considered to be a color of power and authority. It is also very popular and fashionable because many people that wear black look thinner. Black is considered to be timeless and very stylish, but it also implies submissionFor example, priests wear black to signify that they are submissive to God There are those in fashion that indicate women who were black imply that they are submissive to men but many black outfits are also utilized for aloofness or evil, such as those traditionally worn by villains in many television shows and movies."

"The major features of JOGL include proving low level bindings for OpenGL and granting full access to Open GL 2.0 Specification. Apart from this JOGL also provides hardware-supported 3D graphics for Java based applications, which gives it a significant edge over other tools. JOGL also has integrated AWT and Swing widget support integrated. The way JOGL functions is that it parses the C header files from OpenGL (which are in 'C' only) and then using the Java Native Interface (JNI) converts them to Java libraries. This enables JOGL to access OpenGL library using JNI calls. This functionality marrows down the performance gap between Java and other programming languages. However, there is one major drawback of JOGL, which is likely to be over come in the future versions. It lacks helper functions that are available in Java 3D [8]. JOGL also has the advantage of being smaller in size and also for its support to OpenGL shading technologies. JOGL is also supported by Linux (AMD64/x86) Distos, such as Ubuntu."

Abstract
This paper discusses the intricacies of computer graphics as used by film director David Fincher. The paper examines the graphic techniques evident in a number of Fincher's films, "Fight Club" and "Panic Room," among others. The paper describes the powerful special effects employed by Fincher in his films, exploring how he demonstrates his expertise with the camera, as well as his directorial talents, in the way in which he uses the camera and specialized computer graphics to go into the minds of the characters to read their thoughts and follow their panicked thought processes.
From the Paper
"David Fincher or, more popularly, Davey Finch, was born in the year 1962 in Denver, USA. He was brought up in California. He started his career in movies by working at first in Industrial Light and Magic, and moved on to creating TV commercials. This provided Fincher with the expertise needed for a successful career in directing movies. He directed movies like Se7en in 1995, Fight Club in 1999, and the more recent Panic Room in 2002. (Biography for David Fincher) The movie 'Fight Club' is a psychological thriller as well as a roaring comedy. The comedy in the movie lies in its attitude towards the usual staples of everyday life of the present day like air travel and the auto industry and so on. The audience is asked to sympathize with the director in his views about the state of life in the world, as seen through his eyes. David Fincher works with screenplay by Jim Uhls in this adaptation of a satirical novel by Chuck Paluhniak. The young man in the movie finds himself in a situation that he does not enjoy in the least. He finds himself doing a job he does not like, staying in a place that he does not like, and finds himself craving for something different, some excitement in his life. (Fight Club) "

From the Paper
"This research examines computer graphics software. The research will set forth a working definition of the term and then discuss why it is important as well as the types of graphics software available.
Computer graphics software functions as an electronic interface that digitizes and reproduces analog pictorial images, or that converts digital data into such images. There are two main categories of graphical images created by graphics software: raster graphics and vector (object-oriented) graphics. The former "stores and displays images as a bit map, a series of closely spaced dots (or pixels) arranged in rows and columns"; the latter stores images as mathematical formulas, displaying them via calculation end-point-coordinates between which lines are drawn (Computer, 2000, p. 9128). Graphics may be stored ..."

Abstract
This paper discusses how a Web designer needs to understand how to help companies create, develop, and implement successful Internet strategies, as well as write computer HTML code and other custom programming scripts. It looks at how successful Internet Web design is a function of combining experience in Internet marketing, graphic design, and expertise in the latest Web-based technology. A successful Web site will be custom-tuned for the individual business and will take into consideration the clients' needs for Web sites, intranets and extranets for corporate clients, across a broad range of industries. It also examines how meeting the needs of clients is the top priority of a successful Web designer, not displaying their programming wizardry. As a Web site developer, a person must strive to accurately reflect the organization through online branding.
From the Paper
"Before building a web site, the site owner must determine the purpose of the site. Will it be a contact center for customers, or friend? Will it be a central focus of the company, or a personal, virtual scrap book for the family? Will the web site be interactive, inviting the participation of the visitor, or a static, electronic brochure? The first generations of web sites were predominantly the latter, static electronic version of printed materials. The visitors could discover information, and route email through the web site to company staff. Second generation websites added interactivity to the content. The visitors could request information, and have it immediately delivered. Web sites included purchase options for basic products."

Abstract
The relationship between scientific management and German modernist art and architecture has often been overlooked - which is unfortunate insofar as the former has greatly impacted the latter and provided it with some of its most conspicuous and enduring features. With this in mind, this paper explores this link by looking at examples of Taylorist sensibility in four noteworthy German designers; this paper also touches briefly upon how the works of these individuals - particularly Margarete Schutte-Lihotzky - reflected the dominant rationalist and modernist traits of the epoch and, in effect, set about creating a legacy for German graphic and architectural design which has persisted the present age.
