dc.description.abstract | Today, we are surrounded by web media. With new technologies, web design has been advancing
day by day. The web industry continues to expand in its commercial use. As a result, designing
web graphics is an essential part of graphic design. As a computer graphics designer, it is natural
to study web design to develop good design skills.
For my thesis, I wanted to research good design solutions for web graphics and make a
prototype from the results. From the research, I wanted to learn the differences and similarities
between printed media and digital media in graphic design using the topic, "The Greatest
Designers in American Graphic Design".
There are two reasons that made me choose my thesis topic. After studying graphic design
as an undergraduate student, I was interested in some of the greatest graphic designers in the
world. The Bauhaus, the Crystal Palace, and many other historical subjects were enough to make
me excited about the subject. The first reason I decided on my thesis subject was to reflect my
interests in the history of graphic design and to learn more about these graphic
designers'
artwork
and their huge influence on graphic history. The other reason is that there are not enough web sites
about graphic designers or the history of graphic design itself on the Internet for my research. Most
information can be accessed on the Internet but I hardly found any useful web sites about graphic designers. As a result, my thesis will provide a good chance for students and other people related to the field to find out some information on design.
The content of the site should focus on these factors. First, the content should be historical. It will have to include each designer's chronology, biography, and artwork. Second, the con
tent should be informative. From the beginning, thesis projects start under the precondition of pro
viding information to students who study graphic design as well as graphic designers. The site
should inform interested people like other educational web sites. Third, the content should be simple. Even though the thesis project provides important information for designers, its content
should be simple. Due to the fact that people easily lose patience with web sites, my thesis site
should not include a lot of text to grasp the user's attention continuously. | en_US |
