Komik, atau sekarang lebih dikenali dalam bentuk dan isinya yang lebih dewasa dengan sebutan 'graphic novel' arti sederhananya adalah cerita novel (dapat sesuai untuk remaja atau dewasa) yang dituturkan dalam bentuk grafis atau gambar ilustrasi.

Sistem Komik ini adalah karya Thierry Groensteen, kalau komik tebal Craig Thompson 'Blanket' menandakan komik mulai diakui sebagai budaya visual yang berpengaruh, demikian kata John Naisbitt di salah satu bagian buku terbarunya 'MindSet!', maka kajian akademik yang bertumpu pada semiotik seni komik ini boleh dikatakan sebagai petanda bahwa komik aka 'graphic novel' ini sudah ditanggapi serius sebagai sebuah disiplin ilmu yang dinilai penting.

Good: Ethics & Graphic Design



Is it right to use good design for bad purposes?

In a world where awareness of ethics is increasing—but actual ethics themselves may be decreasing—where does graphic design fit in? What is the responsibility of the graphic designer? Is it right to use good design to further evil in the world, merely for the sake of being a good designer? Without dictating a moral stance, Good: Ethics and Graphic Design explores the idea of “being good” and uses what-if scenarios to explore the ramifications of different business decisions. Author Lucienne Roberts draws readers into a debate about professional “goodness” versus personal “goodness” and the relationship between ethics and design practice.

  • Design theory as philosophy
  • Designers, typographers, photographers, and illustrators define "being good"
  • Fascinating for students and designers in business

Lucienne Roberts is the founder of the design studio sans+baum, which focuses on projects outside the commercial mainstream. A contributor to Eye and Grafik magazines, she lives in London, England.

Looking Closer 5



There would be no serious design without serious design criticism, once Massimo Vignelli challenges us, and until now it remains unfulfilled. Looking Closer has been published for four volumes, and this latest one a compilation of design criticism from 2001-2005 is bringing the graphic design issues into the next level of seriousness of criticism.
There are six section which give annotation to graphic design as six topics. Graphic design as a system, as culture, as fashion, as politics, as passion, and as idea.
Looking closer was a room for intellectual battle of graphic design issues that brought divergent thinking into one purpose: serious graphic design reflection on society and culture where they belongs.

Damien Hirst: Superstition

Sepanjang bulan Febuari (22) hingga Maret (5) 2007 tahun ini artis Inggris Damien Hirst mengadakan pamerannya berjudul Superstition, di Gagosian Gallery456 North Camden Drive
Beverly Hills, Amerika.
====
Gagosian Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new paintings by Damien Hirst. Opening concurrently at Gagosian Gallery in Beverly Hills and Davies Street, London, Damien Hirst: Superstition is the artist's first exhibition in Los Angeles in over a decade. In these works, Hirst expands on the iconic motif of the butterfly as a symbol of the beauty and inherent fragility of life, reaching new heights of complexity, refined detail and radiance.

Throughout his work over the last twenty-five years, Hirst has taken a direct and challenging approach to ideas about existence. His work provokes a critical dialogue by calling into question our awareness and convictions about the boundaries that separate desire and fear, life and death, reason and faith, love and hate. In his art, Hirst uses the tools and iconography of science and religion, creating sculptures and paintings whose beauty and intensity offer the viewer insight into art that transcends our familiar understanding of those domains.

In this exhibition, Hirst creates paintings whose classical shapes and compositions take their inspiration from stained glass church windows. From the soaring gothic arch in Aubade - Crown of Glory to the intricate form of the rose window in Friday Night in the Royal Station Hotel - Conception, the works all portray an ornate, fractal geometry and perfect, mathematical symmetry that is awe-inspiring.

Each painting in Damien Hirst: Superstition has two titles, the first taken from the poems in Philip Larkin's collection High Windows. Larkin was an English poet whose fatalistic, colloquial writings speak to a seemingly shared extinguished faith. The second title makes direct reference to religious iconography. A fully illustrated catalogue with essays by noted Larkin scholars John Banville and Richard Bradford will accompany the exhibition.

Seorang kolumnis dan jurnalis sains populer melakukan perjalanannya mengunjungi beberapa kolega sainstis yang diharapkan dapat memberikan jawaban atas,"Apakah sains masih diperlukan untuk memecahkan masalah-masalah di dunia dan akan menuju kemanakah kemajuan (kalau ada) sains di masa depan?"
Di dalamnya terdapat berbagai argumen dan diskusi dari para tokoh sains yang memberikan gambaran bahwa, setelah teori gravitasi Newton (ukuran menengah, teori utk di bumi), teori relativitas Eisntein (ukuran besar, teori utk planet-planet), dan teori quantum (ukuran mikro, teori utk sel-sel, partikel dan molekuler). Keinginan para saintis utk menemukan sebuah teori besar yg secara umumnya dapat menyatukan ketiga-tiga teori tersebut, dan masih belum menemui titik cerah sehingga fisika kini mengarah kepada pendekatan penjelasan filosofis (abstraksi dengan berbagai rumus/fromula matematis) daripada pembuktian ilmiah melalui laboratorium.

Brian Greene yang memulakan penjelasan populernya tentang ruang (space), waktu dan realitas tekstur semesta di dalam The Fabric of the Cosmos, kembali menuliskan secara populer tentang sebuah pencarian akan Theory of Universe atau Theory of Everthing atau Grand Theory. Pendekatan fisika dan matematika tentu akan menarik bagi para kosmolog dan juga astronomer. Pembahasan lebih lanjut tentang SuperString Theory akan lebih mudah dicerna apabila pembaca terlebih dahulu memahami konsep berpikir falsafi fisika yang berawal dari fisika Eistein tentang ruang dan juga lubang hitamnya Hawking.

Bagi peminat dengan sedikit latar belakang pengetahuan tentang sains matematika atau fisika atau kimia dan sejenisnya akan lebih mudah untuk mengikuti tulisan fundamental ini. Penulisnya mencoba menerangkan kondisi struktur matematis dari alam semesta. Sebuah padanan dari The Elegant Universe dari penulis fisika popular Brian Greene, tetapi dalam bentuk yang lebih ilmiah fundamental. Betullah kiranya bahwa dunia sains semakin mendekati sifat falsafi-nya sebagaimana diungkapkan oleh John Horgan, kolumnis Scientific American, dalam buku hasil wawancaranya dengan banyak pakar sains - The End of Scinece.

Global Culture/Individual Identity


Global Culture/Individual Identity menawarkan sebuah diskusi tentang bagaimana kondisi terkini dari tiga budaya besar di dunia. Yaitu Jepang, Cina dan Amerika. Hasil diskusi mendalam dari penulis dengan berbagai kalangan budayawan dan seniman tradisional dan kontemporer. Di dalamnya, melalui pendekatan yg bersifat antropologis, penulis mengajak kita bergelut dengan persoalan seperti pelestarian budaya dan pencarian kembali jati diri bangsa yang di jaman sekarang ini sudah dikelilingi oleh dunia 'cultural supermarket' atau kepembudayaan supermarket.

The Story of Graphic Design inFrance



Desain grafis Perancis mempunyai ciri khas tersendiri, meskipun berbagai gaya desain melanda dunia grafis, mereka mempunya karakteristik tersendiri yang sudah terbangun sejak lama sehingga menjadi tradisi. Kesederhanaan dalam permainan simbol dan metafora menjadi penentu karakteristik desain Perancis yang terkenal elegan dan praktis. Pendekatan yang unik dan terobosan baru tanpa menghilangkan jejak tradisi lamanya adalah sebuah kelebihan desain grafis Perancis.

Swiss Graphic Design


Richard Hollis adalah penulis buku-buku sejarah desain grafis yang telaten. Buku tentang asal mula dan perkembangan desain grafis Swiss yang terutama dikenal menciptakan standard grafis manual untuk komunikasi visual perusahaan atau korporasi dunia.
Bersama dengan negara-negara eropa lainnya, desain grafis Swiss termasuk yang setia pada tradisinya tanpa terikut-ikut trend. Kalau kita melihat penerapan 'branding' pada tingkat nasional dan internasional pada setiap produk maupun jasa, maka kita tidak boleh tidak harus mempelajari sejarahnya dari Swiss.

Visual Communication : from Theory to Practice

Ditulis oleh Jonathan Baldwin dan Lucienne Roberts.
Penerbit AVA Publishing telah memulai debut sebuah penerbitan yang berorientasi pendidikan, dimana buku-buku mereka dikarang oleh para praktisi yang mempunyai latar belakang akademik yang cukup tinggi. Hal ini memungkinkan mereka untuk mengkombinasikan antara pekerjaan dengan penerapan teori untuk membentuk mentalitas baru dalam mengembangkan kreatifitas di dunia komunikasi visual. Bukan sekedar desain yang cantik, atau keanehan kreatif belaka tetapi implementasi pemikiran kritis ke dalam proses desain. Karya-karya praktisi yang dimuat dalam buku ini bukan sekedar berdasarkan besarnya usaha yang dimiliki klien atau pekerjaan yang bermodal besar. Dengan demikian mudah-mudahan buku ini membuat desainer komunikasi visual menjadi semakin bijak.

Handbook of Visual Communication

Handbook of Visual Communication: Theory, Methods and Media berisikan teori dan metode riset dalam dunia komunikasi visual.
Komunikasi visual adalah ranah studi yang kompleks dan dinamis sifatnya, para editor buku ini mengibaratkan ranah komunikasi visual sebagai sebuah akar rizome seperti akar serabut umbi yang menyebar ke sekelilingnya. 'Sacttered' dan 'Fragmented', terpecah-pecah dan terpenggal-penggal. Demikianlah sifatnya.
