App Concept

HOMECOMING

This app is for a worship ministry based in Ohio. They play worship music, lead retreats and key-note speak in conferences. This app is going to have live updates on the ministry's events, include inspirational blog posts, connect followers, and will feature song and video releases of music and talks.

Hillsong App is my inspiration for the basic set up and design.

Discuss the aesthetics and conceptual connections between post-modern architecture and graphic design?

Discuss the aesthetics and conceptual connections between post-modern architecture and
graphic design?


Post-Modernism reflected a “climate of cultural change.” This meant things were more inclusive and there was a larger demographic and pool from which designers and designs could be taken. Post-modernism saw many new design styles come forth and changed the world in a way that is is still being seen. Architects during this time, post 1960, broke with what was called “The International Style.” The graphic artists of the Post-Modern era, artists like Tibor Kalman, Tadanori Yokoo, and David Carson use methods which embody themes of “pluralism” and expressionistic styles, which move away from the previous modern and international styles. An example of this is architecture is the Pruitt-Igoe Public Housing done by the architect Minoru Yamasaki. He tried to create a modernist utopia to help bring impoverished people into a new setting which would change their lifestyle and establish them in Modernism. After this failed it was also a significant failure for Modernism which brought on the ideas of Post-Modernism as a fix for the problems of Modernism. Post-Modernist architecture hoped to differ from Modernism architecture in growing away from “blandness” and “inhumanity.” Post-Modern architecture hoped to employ many elements of styles, colors, forms and materials available.



An example of Post-Modern architecture is the architect Michael Graves. His Steigenberger Hotel in El Gouna, Egypt is an example of this new style. Which did away with the harsh lines, bland colors, and severity of Modernist Architecture (as seen below in Le Corbusier’s building.)

These methods and styles used in Post-Modern architecture come from the same place that influenced Graphic Designers. They had to reconsider what visual themes they were using to define the world around them, more color, less rigidity, a restructuring of the grid, and implementations of global themes and aesthetics.

Thoughts on Democracy Poster @ the Wolfsonian Assignment

    This poster (on the right) made in 1930 by R.O. Blechman strangely entitled "Parody of the Freedom From Fear by Norman Rockwell" is very well done in wit and in aesthetic. This was done in a time of uneasiness (to say the least) in the world. The original image (on the left) was originally created to subside fear in its viewers implying that we need not fear in our country especially with our freedom from fear. You can understand that with such chaos ensuing in the world that if you can witness a family who is able to tuck their children in for bed at night, in a vulnerable safe-haven, then there is no reason to fret. The first poster was meant to coax the viewers into a state of peace and trust that their country would deliver on that freedom from fear. I feel that R.O. Blechman is satirizing this iconic image by adding word bubbles filled with endless troubles. I believe he is taking the original image implying "there is no need to fear" and places the father figure looking out and questioning that statement. The father ponders and mulls over the things that are inevitably going to plague his heart with fear regardless of the reassurance of the good old U.S.A.
