Tomando o design gráfico como eixo de observação, foram analisados os caminhos traçados na profissionalização dessa atividade e os fatores que levaram a mensagem a alcançar a forma gráfica atual. Nessa análise, foram consideradas as mudanças decorrentes não só da introdução da tecnologia digital, mas também das transformações de tendências e padrões culturais que determinaram o período estudado. Como ponto de partida foram utilizados os princípios modernistas, sistematizados pela Bauhaus e seqüenciados pelas diretrizes da Escola Suíça, que determinaram o papel do design gráfico como um transmissor neutro e cuja proposta era a claridade, a objetividade e a funcionalidade, por meio de formas universais e livres de valores regionais. O objetivo central foi analisar a perda da supremacia desses valores, acompanhada pela introdução da tecnologia digital, com novos equipamentos oferecendo novas ferramentas, possibilitando novos enfoques para a idealização dos projetos. / Taking graphic design as an observation axis, the course followed in the professionalization of this activity and the factors that led the message to take its current graphical form were analyzed. In this investigation, not only the changes brought about by the introduction of digital technology were considered, but also the transformation of cultural trends and patterns which determined the period studied. Modernist principles were used as a starting point, as systemized by Bauhaus and arranged by the guidelines established by the Swiss School, which determined the role of the graphic design as a neutral transmitter and whose proposal was clarity, objectivity and functionality, through universal forms and freed of regional values. The main objective was to analyze the loss of supremacy of these values, accompanied by the introduction of the digital technology, with new equipments offering new tools, which enabled new approaches in the conceptualization of projects.

Esta pesquisa apresentará estudos das linguagens aplicadas ao design gráfico através de estudos e análises de trabalhos impressos que possuem representações do automóvel em seu projeto. Seu objetivo é identifi car e analisar cartazes em seu formato e conteúdo, de forma a documentar e compreender o desenvolvimento dessa atividade no recorte de tempo que abrigou os diferentes estilos estéticos que compõem o design gráfico moderno. Esse período compreende o fim do século XIX até o final da década de 1960. Para tanto, será necessário o estudo de fatores sociais, culturais, políticos, históricos, econômicos e tecnológicos que influenciaram o desenvolvimento destes projetos. Dessa forma, esta pesquisa agrupará, de forma ainda rara, informações e projetos de design gráfi- co relacionados com o universo do automóvel e automobilismo. Além disso, ela possibilitará compreender as formas que o designer encontrou para retratar um objeto que gradualmente se transformou de novidade em ícone da sociedade. / The present work aim to study of visual languages applied to graphic design by analysing printed works that has automobiles representations in it\'s project. The main objective is to identify and analyse posters judging by their format and content, in order to document and understand the development of this activity during the period of time where the different aestethics styles that compose the modern graphic design. This period is between the XIX century until the end of the 1940\'s. (Therefore,) it is necessary to study the social, cultural, political, historical, economical and technological factors during that period to fully comprehend the infl uences on the development of such projects. Thus, this research presents, in a rare form, informations and graphic design projects related to the automobile universe and the automobilism. Furthermore, this research will contribute to understand the ways the designer found to represent an object that gradually transformed from novelty to a society icon.

A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo principal, o estudo de possibilidades sinestésicas no design gráfico. Analisar diferentes técnicas gráficas e estímulos visuais que remetam ou estimulem os diferentes sentidos humanos. Compreender melhor as relações entre os signos visuais com os signos dos demais sentidos: sonoros, táteis, olfativos e gustativos, observando possíveis relações de correspondência entre os mesmos e refletindo sobre sua contribuição no processo de comunicação. Dentro de cada relação, são apresentadas as relações sinestésicas encontradas por pesquisadores diversos, resultantes de estudos relacionados principalmente a psicodinâmica das cores, psicologia da forma e gestalt, agrupados por suas relações com cores, formas, texturas e relações espaciais. As relações sinestésicas encontradas servem como parâmetros principais para a análise de diferentes peças gráficas de produção recente, como: cartazes, embalagens e capas de livro, entre outros. Tendo em vista o grande crescimento de informações a que somos submetidos, das mídias disponíveis, do mercado e da população em geral, nota-se a necessidade de projetos cada vez mais instigantes, eficientes e preocupados com as necessidades de cada mercado. Esta pesquisa visa contribuir na determinação de recursos que permitam suprir tais necessidades, potencializando os resultados do design gráfico na função de identificar, informar, instruir, apresentar e promover, através de uma idéia gráfica. / This research has the aim to study synesthesia in graphic design, analyzing different graphical techniques and visual stimulations that forward or stimulate the different human beings feelings. To better understanding the relation among the visual signs and the others human being feelings, as smell, flavor, touch, sound and also observing the possible relation correspondence among them reflecting on its contribution on the communication process. Inside of each relation are presented synesthesia relation found by many researchers due to studies mainly related to psychodynamics of the colors, form psychology and gestalt, grouped by its relation by color, form, space form and texture. The found synesthesia relations serve as the main parameters to analyze different graphic parts of a recent production such as book covers, posters, packing among others. Considering the great growth of the information that we are submitted, the available medias, the market and the population in general, it is observed the necessity of projects each time more interesting, efficient and worried about the necessities of each market. This research aims to contribute to the determination of the resources which will permit to supply these necessities empowering the graphic design on the function to identify, to inform, to instruct, to present and to promote through a graphic idea.

Thinking about that fact, this research looks to find the creation of a landscape about this esthetic utilizing the perception of the major websites of Brazil, in the light of the great design portals of the internet and Google and Youtube research tools. This paper lead us to an understanding that flat design receives a large acceptance and major arguments on the internet, but it also brings the image of an esthetic that still in development, with variations and largely misunderstood on its conceptual foundations, that brings to a straight analysis of its symbolic roots and social impact / O flat design é a maior tendência no design gráfico do começo deste século, mas seus conceitos e características ainda não estão completamente consolidados. Pensando nisso, buscamos traçar um panorama sobre essa estética segundo a percepção dos principais websites na internet brasileira. Para tal, utilizamos como base de dados os maiores sites com conteúdo majoritariamente voltado para o design gráfico e as ferramentas de busca do Google e Youtube. A pesquisa nos levou a entender que o flat design possui larga aceitação e amplo debate na internet, mas nos trouxe a imagem de uma estética ainda em desenvolvimento, com variações e más interpretações por parte de seus alicerces conceituais, o que carece de uma análise mais concisa sobre sua raiz simbólica e seu impacto social

This research was designed to elicit insights from the implausibly-hushed stakeholders of graduate employability - current undergraduates. (Johnston, 2003; Moreau and Leathwood, 2006; Tymon, 2013). It is argued that previous rare attempts to probe students about employability have utilised methods, frameworks and/ or language that reflect dominant discourses of employability, so encouraging capitulation to existing perspectives; and have focussed mainly on alumni rather than current undergraduates. It is hypothesised that graphic elicitation is an apt data capture practice by reflecting the epistemologies and practice of its thirty-seven final-year graphic design undergraduate respondents at eight art and design institutes across the United Kingdom. My version of graphic elicitation was theatricalised through large sign-writing pens on expansive golden 'safety' blankets, emphasising to respondents both the process and the artefacts of production. The analytical framework was phenomenography, selected for its claim to reveal the range of experiences that respondents have of a target phenomenon (Åkerlind, 2012). This contrasts with other qualitative frameworks that focus on finding commonalities of experience. The multi-step, iterative analysis led to several phenomenographic outcome spaces, elaborating the extent of ways that undergraduates experience and perceive the construct of employability within their education and beyond. The outcomes were incorporated to an interactive interface to address a key criticism of phenomenography - that individuals' conceptions are forsaken by its reductive practice (Säljö, 1997). This element of my practice is proof of concept of an interactive phenomenographic outcome space, in which the categories of the outcome space can be drilled-down to associated underlying conceptions. The thesis describes the reason for, and elaborates, my inquisitive graphic practice with students, and discusses the outcomes. The accompanying praxis document supports the telling, from production of graphic artefact, via photographic recording of the artefacts and iterative analysis, to the phenomenographic outcome spaces and interface. The thesis concludes with an elaboration of what has been revealed, and what might be elaborated by subsequent practice.

A economia brasileira passa, no período de 2000 até meados de 2008, por uma fase de relativa estabilidade. Tal situação permitiu às empresas elaborar estratégias de médio prazo e a implementá-las, muitas vezes de maneira bem sucedida. Observa-se assim, a valorização de algumas empresas brasileiras, considerando-se não só os seus ativos físicos, mas também as suas marcas, que passaram a constituir ativos que não deviam ser desprezados. Revisões dos Sistemas de Identidade Visual têm acontecido com maior freqüência, com a atualização de Identidades Visuais defasadas e, em alguns casos, com a mudança do próprio nome da empresa. Pretende-se, neste trabalho, analisar a Identidade Visual Corporativa resultante desses processos de revisão segundo a metodologia de Norberto Chaves, e seus catorze parâmetros de alto desempenho de símbolos e logotipos. O universo de pesquisa é formado pelas dez marcas brasileiras mais valorizadas, segundo as avaliações feitas no Brasil pela consultoria inglesa Interbrand, no ano de 2007. / The Brazilian economy at 2000 decade goes through a stable period of time, between 2000 and 2008. This situation has allowed corporations to elaborate some middle term and long term strategies, and to put them into practice, many times in a successful way. As a result, there was the corporation´s value increment, not only of physical resources, but also of brand value. The brand became a resource not to be despised. Revisions on Visual Identity Systems have happened more frequently, with renew of old Visual Identities and, in some cases, with the change of the corporation´s name. In this work is intended to analyze the Visual Identify after the revision process, according to Norberto Chaves methodology and his fourteen parameters of high performance for symbols and logotypes. The research is based on the ten most valuable Brazilian brands, according to Interbrand´s 2007 evaluation.

Being alone is not the only definition of loneliness. Loneliness can be felt even when surrounded by a lot of people, especially in the virtual online world. Our digital devices play an important role in connecting everyone together without the restriction of time and space. Communication became more and more convenient in this era. Mostly we are digitally connected, but sometimes, we are mentally disconnected. We are online and together in this virtual world, but loneliness is always a never ended situation that we are suffering from. As a visual communicator, My works focus on using performance as an approach to explore the evolving relationship between the online communication and online loneliness. In my thesis research, I want to investigate how does the online world created more loneliness to individuals digitally and physically, and how people release their spiritual desire and overcome loneliness in the online world.
