Concept Board and Summary





Research

Michael Biuret- His artworks caught my eye because he uses mainly typefaces which made him unique compared to other designers and artworks I was looking at. I feel like his pieces are very shape and bold, especially the black and white ones.

Realism- I like this movement because it portrays real life. It is almost like a picture but just of everyday incidences which I find very simple.

Surrealism- This movement revolves around the idea of a dream and reality, having both realistic and nonrealistic factors in the piece.I am interested in the movement’s strive to push past the boundaries of art. This movement allows me to see what new ideas there are. I feel that every piece is going to be a unique and eye-opening piece.
Surrealism(Summary)

The surrealism movement was founded in the 1920s in Paris. Cubism and Dadaism have similar ideas in that they focus on the creation of the unknown. Dadaism is the predominant influence of Surrealism because it promotes new and unique ways of thinking. While Dadaism focuses on the disliking of wars and protests, surrealists found interests in the idea of different point of views in everyday aspects of life, but in less violent ways. Surrealism revolves around the idea of dream and reality by having both realistic and nonrealistic factors in the piece. Surrealists strive to convey and reveal our true thoughts disregarding any reasoning from the surrounding world. This fantasy based reality was able to influence many graphic designers to create pieces that are not only unusual but interesting to the eye. Graphic design reaches to surrealism to convey a message where an image can make the audience think in a new way, for example, in advertisements. Many graphic design advertisements strike at people because it looks so different, the world then turns to the advertisement and try to decipher and find the intelligence behind the advertisement. Moreover, the putting together of different objects or ideas and coming together with a concept allows people with a new way to think. Automatically, through one image, people gain a new understanding and point of view. Because of the possibilities that surrealism brought, the graphic design world has so much more space to expand on. Graphic designers was able to learn to accept what is unusual and accept the fantastical images they see in their minds and share it with others because it is such a clever point of view. With surrealism, graphic designers ultimately saw many new ways to convey an idea with it being overwhelmingly influential because it is so different and attractive.
