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)."

"Graphic designers often see themselves as essentially communicative artists whose function it is to convey ideas, concepts and information through visual and textual imagery and data using a variety of techniques. It is this central communicative aspect which has enabled graphic designers to cover a wide spectrum of media and mediums and to "work across quite a wide range of fields and with different media: for companies and corporate bodies, in book or magazine publishing, exhibition design, signing and architectural graphics, television graphics, and so on.

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."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine the work of graphic designers Piet Zwart and April Greiman, the former a Dutch designer who died in 1977 and the latter an American who was born in 1948. The plan of the research will be to set forth each designer's background as well as an overview of the education, experience, and influences on each, and then to discuss the philosophy and style of design, and the use of type, photography, and color media, with a view toward showing the similarities and differences in the content and execution of their work.
It is possible to trace a direct line of generational influence from the European Zwart to his much younger American contemporary, Greiman, simply by looking at the work of each and pointing out similarities. However, that line would not be clear..."

From the Paper
"Ettore Sottsass was the leading figure of the Memphis design group, and much of what he embodied in that group derived from his earlier experiences as a designer. The ideas he implemented in the design group were ambitious and adventurous. The designs produced were highly successful, but for Sottsass this success was itself only a beginning. While the public clamored for more, he was already looking to the next mode of expression. The Memphis design group had a considerable influence on the industrial design that would follow, an influence still felt today. The Memphis design studio in Milan was started in 1979. As with many European design studios and movements, the Memphis design group appeared to have a greater tolerance for abstract design than did American groups of the time, but in fact the European groups generally looked to American style of the 1950s ...

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.

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."
