  • A brief history of Graphic design is all about equipping you with the knowledge of design history in order to understand the styles and movements that shaped graphic design as we know it. ► If you are interested in learning graphic design 100% online then join the Facebook Group
    ► Facebook Group has been closed, I am sorry for the inconvenience.
    The history of graphic design is what gives you the ability to use the correct style, color, movement and communication in order to communicate clearly the message you are trying to place in the hand or eyes of your audience.
    As graphic designers, we are to be masters of clear communication. If we are using style and design technique incorrectly than our messages will become lost in translation. Consider this point…
    If you use Alexander Rodchenko’s work as inspiration for your design promoting freedom and diversity than you will be sending the completely wrong message with the style you are using.
    If graphic design history Alexander Rodchenko design work in Russia during heavy communist reign. His work promoted the communist movement and was known as Constructivism. When you understand this you will make sure to always use the inspiration your glean from graphic design history correctly.
    This will allow you to use your design history accurately and become a more intelligent and informed graphic designer.

    Hey Ben, the image you used at 13:25 - the part where you mentioned Chinese moveable type - that image is actually Korean. I really enjoy your presentation, as a self-taugh graphic designer this kind of material is so helpful to me. Thank you for the great work!

    Really loved this video. I am about to go down a research rabbit hole to learn more about the movements and designers you introduced here. I didnt go to art school when I was young because I bought into the belief that I would regret going for the rest of my life. Now I am in my late 20s and there is nothing about my teens I regret more than not choosing art school, go figures 🤷

    Great video, I just want to make one correction that I haven't seen others mention. When you said the German Bauhaus designers were kicked out of Germany, you switched from saying Nazis to Communist. The Nazis were not communist, they were fighting the communists in Russia and they jailed and deported socialists and communists, of which many Bauhaus members were (which is why they were persecuted).

The female photographers/graphic designers that I’ve studied and produced similar artwork to are Hollie Chastain and Susan Stone.
