Handan, hand made jewellery.

Look at the name and the campaign, without spoonfeeding it communicates the message immediatly. They used two methods  for generating ads:

• Without words: we get the message that the product is a hand made bracelet without any slogan or words or something…
• omission and suggestions: where the hand replace the product just to show us that it is hand made.

It captures the perils of mindlessly using multinational advertising templates in a country like India.

they used one method:

• Turn it right around: They showed the negative instead of the positive in this ad).

It is a ad for the jeep infinity(260 horsepower G35.Coming march 1) Accelerating the future.

they used 1 method for generating ads:

• Comparative juxtaposition: they showed something completely unrelated to the product.

Artist director of the Art+Com, Berlin.

Graphic designer and film. He was fascinated by the potential of conmputing, so he co-founded Art+com in 1988. He focused on interactive, intelligent and dynamic surfaces of objects and architecture. His work enable the person to interact with the work, with the peice of art he’s looking at, either the image can look destorted, dissolved or projected into someone to symbolize his inner feeling.

Illustrator, film maker and graphic designer. She loves to illustrate and then put it on screen. She loves being able to make an animation or mx hand-drawing with type.

She  said:” In the future, new media will not be new anymore. Media will not matter. There will be infinite  possibilities to create and ditribute images.then will float from screen to screen. The graphic designers will always remain the creators of images, but we use technonology to develope these ideas in a new way.

Line drawings on paper of random people and common objects, her work explores the magic and humour underlying everyday life.

Images are created to provoke a smile or a tear, to share an emotion.

In Tokyo. He was an engineer inspired by the work of John Maeda. He tried to create fluid, sensational and realistic images.He said:”There’s usability but there’s also joy; there’s that simple fun of being able to touch and feel, and that can draw you deeper into a web experience.”

John Meada is a part artist, part computer scientist and part educator. He’a a leading figure in digital art and graphics.

He played a major role in the crossover between books and computers, experimenting screen-based work.

Born in japan, he was the first exploring the integration of sound and image as an interactive, new experience.

He played with videao projections to create and animate a creature with sound and lightOn the plus side, he has worked in television, music performance, museum design and digital musical instrument design.

Iwai visualized an image of a piano played by light. Audience members operate a trackball to draw lighted dots on a grid. The flashing dots move, and as soon as they come close to the piano they accelerate and strike a key. With the sound of the piano, a three-dimensional figure pops out of the keyboard. The audience-drawn shapes play the actual piano. The sound then produces colors and figures. This is not a digital sound, but the sound of an acoustic piano controlled by computer. Combinations of computer graphics, liberated from the feel and weight of a grand piano, merge and integrate the elements of our real physical body and virtual body, which makes this work truly innovative.

Digital photography is one of the main image source in new media. Everyone uses digital photography on computers with no loss of quality; no more darkrooms and all the traditional processes.

The creativity and technology in photography increased.kodak, the most famous brand name in photography now stopped producing films and followed this new technology and moved all their business into digital. Now the printing, the editing and the manipulation of images no longer take time, it can be done immediatly with high-resolution digital cameras. It changed the way in which all photographers work.

Today, new media has won the day. It made it easier and more functionnal for us to produce books magazines, logos, posters,DVDs… with the use of the computer.

For example, digital informations can be stored as numbers and copying it will be identical to the original with no loss of quality , in contrary to old-media which each copy is recreated again.

As Fred Deakin said: “The advent of new media is a double-edged sword for the graphic designers…these new tools expanded the range of skills that we now need in order to achieve excellence”. So excellence is the best word that describes new-media and therefor that’s what we all need to have in our designs.
