The Nature of The Practice
Defining The Practice:
The name [Graphic Design] has changed over the years… It
has evolved from graphic design, to visual communication, to
communication design. Initially named by the medium of print
or graphical representation, the introduction of new media
and tools, such as photography, film, television, sound
motion and digital expression, has gradually helped us to
recognise that communication is the essence of this branch
of design, independent of the medium in which
communication is presented
(Buchanan, 2001)

- 2. GRD2100GrafiskDesigniRom 2 PREFACE Before We Begin Our Journey CONUNDRUM OF THE PRACTICE When Graphic Design in Spaces is mentioned, it is often met with confusion. It suggests that the Graphic Designer is some form of a spatial designer or the association of applying text, image and graphics in spaces. Both are simultaneously right and wrong. On the other hand, if a graphic designer attempts to explain it, like when I say I am an experience designer, nobody in the room gets it… Sentiments gathered from practitioners
- 3. GRD2100GrafiskDesigniRom 3 PREFACE Before We Begin Our Journey INTERSECTIONS This practice sits at the intersection of several disciplines namely architecture, communication design (graphic design), interaction design, motion design but also art and technology. It is a difficult practice to define much less to describe to others. Fig1. A map of the current experience design practice shown in HDD2100.

GRD2100GrafiskDesigniRom 8 UNDERSTANDING THE PRACTICE The History of The Term Applied Arts/Commercial Artist to Graphic Design: The term Graphic Design first came to use in 1922 Boston newspaper article by W.A. Digging to describe the wide range of jobs he personally tackled and to distinguish himself from the commercial artist. He was a jack-of-many-graphic-trades: illustrating books; composing pages; designing typefaces (among them, Metro and Caledonia); producing calligraphic hand lettering and stencil ornament; designing books and jackets; devising advertising and journal formats, along with handbills, stationery, labels and signs; as well as writing critical essays, short stories and marionette plays.

- 15. GRD2100GrafiskDesigniRom 15 Defining The Practice: Graphic design, also known as communication design, is the art and practice of planning and projecting ideas and experiences with visual and textual content. The form of the communication can be physical or virtual, and may include images, words, or graphic forms. The experience can take place in an instant or over a long period of time. The work can happen at any scale… It can also be for any purpose, whether commercial, educational, cultural, or political. (Cezzar, J. 2015) ‘ ’ The Nature of The Practice UNDERSTANDING THE PRACTICE
- 16. GRD2100GrafiskDesigniRom 16 Defining The Practice: Nonetheless, given the growing intersection of graphic design with time-based media, information design and associated disciplines such as writing and producing, as well as the blurring of boundaries between fine art and design, who and what we are (and ultimately want to be) is becoming more complicated to define and, therefore, to name… (Heller, 2007) ‘ ’ The Nature of The Practice UNDERSTANDING THE PRACTICE

- 22. FGD3101FordypningIGrafiskDesign 22 Converging of Disciplines CONTEMPORARY DESIGN PRACTICE Art and Design are increasingly becoming post-disciplinary where there are no longer neat categories but hybrids with few boundaries. We are ill-equipped to understand this because our way of thinking came from a period when disciplines were central. Previously, creativity occurred within a context of experimentation framed by a discipline and provided context, meaning and purpose. UNDERSTANDING THE PRACTICE

New emerging practices are changing and shaping the discipline. What we don’t know: 1. What does Graphic Design in spaces mean? 2. What are the scopes of this practice? Converging of Disciplines UNDERSTANDING THE PRACTICE
- 24. FGD3101FordypningIGrafiskDesign 24 PART 2 The Four Orders of Design Understanding The State of Graphic Design
- 25. GRD2100GrafiskDesigniRom 25 In 2001, Richard Buchanan postulates that there are four orders that characterise design in the 21st century. These orders evolved from the various areas of design practice and can be identified by many existing practices. THE FOUR ORDERS Understanding The Four Orders Symbols Text, images, graphics, pictograms, signs etc to communicate Central to the establishment of Graphic Design in the 20th century. Things Physical artefacts that exist around us to help us do something. Central to the establishment of industrial and product design in the 20th century. Action Experiences, services and activities to help human beings relate to one another. Central to emerging practices such as interaction design and service design. Thought Environments and systems that integrate information, physical artefacts and interactions in environments of living, working and playing based on a central thought or idea. Central to existing practices such as Architecture and Urban Planning, but also emerging practices such as organisational design, systems architecture.
- 26. GRD2100GrafiskDesigniRom 26 THE FOUR ORDERS Visualising The Four Orders SymbolsThings Action Thought Symbols exist all around us to communicate information such as graphic design Symbols and things are now overlapping and assigned new meaning especially with advances of technology such as the smart phone. Physical things that exist around us such as industrial design. Experiences, services and activities that connect people such as service design, user experience design etc. Environments or systems that contain everything such as architecture, systems design etc. Fig11. A visualisation of the four orders by their relationships and ability to contain others.
- 27. GRD2100GrafiskDesigniRom 27 Defining The Practice: The process of ordering, disordering, and reordering design is revolutionary, and I believe we are now in the midst of such a revolution. Instead of focusing on symbols and things, designers have turned to two quite different places to create new products and to reflect on the value of design in our lives. They have turned to action and environment. The argument for the reordering of design is simple and clear. It is certainly important that designers know how to create visual symbols for communication and how to construct physical artifacts, but unless these become part of the living experience of human beings, sustaining them in the performance of their own actions and experiences, visual symbols and things have no value or significant meaning.

GRD2100GrafiskDesigniRom 28 THE FOUR ORDERS Using The Four Orders to Locate The Practice SymbolsThings Thought Action DEFINING GRAPHIC DESIGN IN SPACES Graphic Design in Spaces is the exploration of communication (the essence of our practice) across the three other orders of design. It is to consider how a message can be communicated in space, form, interaction, image, text, sound and light. GRD Graphic DesignProduct Design Environment Interaction Fig12.

- 36. GRD2100GrafiskDesigniRom 36 On the dynamism and fluidity of the practice: Graphic design is the most ubiquitous of all the arts. It responds to needs at once personal and public, embraces concerns both economic and ergonomic, and is informed by numerous disciplines including art and architecture, philosophy and ethics, literature and language, politics and performance. Graphic design is everywhere, touching everything we do, everything we see, everything we buy… Graphic design is a popular art, a practical art, an applied art and an ancient art. Simply put, it is the art of visualising ideas. (Helfand , 2001, p.137) ’ ‘ Graphic Design Without Boundaries SUMMARY
- 37. GRD2100GrafiskDesigniRom 37 SUMMARY The Skills Required For This Course This course will require you to use all the courses you have learnt so far. It will also require you to learn about other disciplines and apply their principles into your work. Note: You may wish to include Art into your approach* - many practitioners often include ‘the intersection of art, design and technology’ to help the public understand what they do. We will also find out why in the later half of the seminar.Image Motion User Experience Form Typography User Interface Interaction Light Sound Space Fig12.

Editor's Notes
- #25: And the last and the most interesting is visual irony [read slide text] [go through examples] And so we’ve come to the end of this lecture and the first session. We’ll take a break and come back in 15mins for the next part of the workshop where we will make things.
- #41: I highly recommend Sandra Moriarty’s article. It talks alot more in detail about semiotics in visual communication. So take a break and come back in 10 mins. We will have a little exercise after this.
