STAGE DESIGN

The designer is also in charge of props. Theater designers are responsible for working with the director and each other to support the director's vision with scenery, costumes, lighting, and sound. Small shows may have the director performing the tasks of one or more designers.

There are many memorable indoor floating stage designs in Broadway look really awesome:


To create a successful stage, a lot of things need to be involved, such as background, decoration, lighting, video projection.

Typography Designer

Typography, the art of arranging type, type design and modifying type glyphs, is often considered as a major part of promotional material and marketing. If you use typography properly, you cannot meaningfully convey the message, but also strengthen the brand of your company.

Typography has always been very inspiring and nowadays many artists experiment with type treatments to achieve inspiring, unusual and beautiful results. It definitely has become a popular especially among artists, designers and enthusiasts.

Good typography is just as important on a Web page as it is in any other medium. The fact that it appears on a computer screen and not on a piece of paper is immaterial; it should still be pleasing to look at and easy to read.

It is used to create striking artworks to help highlight a specific thought. It allows one word or phrase to become the focal point of the design rather than just another design element thrown in the composition. This art form is used largely in web design, poster, postcard design, and other offset printing media. It is also widely used for entertainment media such as film credits and titles, and all forms of advertisements.

Le-Modular

In the year 1948, Le Corbusier developed a system of measurements which became known as "Modulor" (Le Modular). Modulor is a sequence of measurements which used to achieve harmony in his architectural compositions. Le Corbusier developed the Modulor in the long tradition of Vitruvius, Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man.

It was developed as a visual bridge between two incompatible scales, the Imperial system and the Metric system. The metric system is an international decimalised system of measurement: kilo, giga, centi, milligram…. The Imperial system is the system of units first defined in the British Weights and Measures Act: inch, foot, yard….

Le Corbusier selected the solar plexus, the top of the head, and the tips of the fingers of an extended arm as the principal anatomical locations. The distance from the ground to the solar plexus represents the extremes division of the golden section, approximately 1.61803, and the distance between the solar plexus and the top of the head is the mean.

From this base Le Corbusier produced an infinite series of mathematical proportions that could be applied to a wide range of architectural dimensions. Most applications of Le Modulor to graphic design, including Le Corbusier's own designs of Le Modulor, and Suite de la Modulor, have not been particularly impressive. Perhaps the most important contribution of the Modulor to two-dimensional design was the inspiration it gave to the typographic designers of Germany and Switzerland to create the modular systems that would transfer utilitarian makeup sheets to design-oriented modern grids.

3D STREET PAINTING

Street painting is a visual art that is one of the categories street arts. These painters also call as chalk artist; they draw an unrealistic art at the floor, to make it very real from an angle. It’s a special art start a long time ago (16th century) at Europe.


The below images are the of process of 3D street painting:


Another example of 3D Street painting:


The above is the process of draw a 3d Lego Army, and a pipe that are unrealistic, but it seem real from an angle.

Futuristic Design Concepts

10 years ago, people didn’t really expect the 1.4mb 3.5 inch floppy to evolve into flash drives 10x smaller with storage capacity as big as 32gb. With the advancement of technology, it’s just going to get more and more high-end and all the size, is just going to get smaller and slimmer.

Therefore, industries depend on design concepts to realize ideas for new products in a creative process leading the path to true innovation. Industrial concept designers create practical designs that accommodate present day and include the technology of tomorrow.

Concept designers are also referred to as “visual futurists”. These concept designs may not be on the market yet, but they can still inspire you to create something just as futuristic and exciting online. The designs may be impractical in some cases, but the idea is to put the concept out to the world to see how it evolves and grows.

Futuristic Glass

This concept by Mac Funamizu of Japan would act as a scanner, a digital camera, and an internet-connected wireless device all in one package.


U.S.S. Enterprise Inspired Nissan Terranaut

Designed for “scientists, geologists, archaeologists or adventurers”, Nissan’s 4×4 Terranaut features a “spherical laboratory” that is accessed from a 360 degree swiveling seat. Unfortunately, all these workstations leave room for only one passenger side door.


Helix Hotel for Zayed Bay, Abu Dhabi

The Helix Hotel is the winning design in a competition for a five-star luxury hotel in the Zayed Bay of Abu Dhabi. Staggered asymmetrical forms give it its off-kilter appearance, and the hotel would partially float in the water adjacent to the Zaha Hadid-designed Sheik Zayed Bridge. Leeser Architecture gave the hotel 208 guest rooms and suites arranged around a helical floor, doing away with closed-off halls and opening each guest room to a large atrium.

EXHIBITION BOOTH

This are some nice booth, it is simple, nice and convenient.This are some nice booth, it is simple, nice and convenient.

FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION | FUNCTIONS FOLLOWS FORM


Reworking Eisenman,"Post functionalism does not mean that a building should not function; rather the form should not necessarily represent that function". So may be if we look at this topic, we might be able to see beyond the linier relationship (following one another)of form and function.

Form follows function is a principle associated with modern architecture and industrial design in the 20th century. The principle is that the shape of a building or object should be primarily based upon its intended function or purpose.

Louis Sullivan's phrase "form (ever) follows function" became a battle-cry of Modernist architects after the 1930s. However, Sullivan himself neither thought nor designed along such dogmatic lines during the peak of his career.

Form and Function in design often applied to architecture, engineering, and industrial design, the statement form follows function applies to graphic design and desktop publishing too. For designers, form is the elements that make up our designs, our pages. Function is the objective of the design whether it is a sign giving directions or a book that entertains with a story.

Form and Function Working Together

Function needs form in order to accomplish its goal. Form without function is just a pretty piece of paper.

Function is deciding that a poster plastered around town would be the best way to inform the general public about a band's upcoming club performance. Function is specifying how much the band can spend on that poster. Form is choosing the size, colors, fonts, and images based on the function and arranging the text and graphics so that the poster attracts attention and looks good.

To practice the rule of form follows function, start the design process by first getting as much information as possible about the purpose of the piece you are creating. Once you know the function of the piece and the practical parameters and limitations for putting the job together, you get to put it into a form that supports the function using your knowledge of the principles of design, the rules of desktop publishing and graphic design, and your creative vision.
