OUGD201 - Design Production - Print. Good is?

Breaking it down further, choosing one answer from each question and going into more detail.


What is good?
Minimalism, the clear cut, crisp was of getting the the point across in the simplest, cleverest, most creative and wittiest way.

Who would find it good?
Graphic designers, designers interested in minimalism.

Who wouldnt find it good?
Maximalists, designers who use maximalism, or illustrators who find it too simple/easy, because of its simple style using very little elements relying mainly on the idea over skills.

What is it better than?
Maximalism, i find maximalism too cluttered and too messy, too much going on within the design giving it a really childish/ un-professional look.

Profession?
Architect, architects are using more and more minimalist styles recently, all modern buildings being very clean and simple.

Celebrity?
Moby, have you ever seen is house? Well.. i havnt however Lorrein tells me its very minimalist, also his music has a very minimalist style, very chilled out and not involving many elements.

Place?
Japan, japanese achitecture is one of the main influences for minimalist design. Traditional japanese designs all has very few flourishes, simple colour, simple design choices, and clean lines and forms, adding only what is needed and removing the rest.

Product?
Iphone, all apple products are extremely minimalist, take the iphone, a phone with only one button other than that its just a blank box, very clever.

Event?
Event is a hard one to think of because events mainly being massive and very un-minimalist, however.. Beacons festival, a very chilled out festival with the line up consisting of pretty much all house music and chilled out dub, really low tempo music with few elements and really chilled out.
