Exercise 4

Exercise 4

Conceptual images

For this exercise i chose Tibor Kalman as my point of focus. He was a designer whose designs mainly focused on social issues and most of his designs gained a reputation of being seen as unconventional, and added social commentary. He enjoyed working with the colors magazine especially because it addressed social issues such as racism and AIDS.

Examples  

This magazine cover can be seen as conceptual image because he combined two ideas into one piece

instead of just stating what it means, he lets the viewer interpret the meaning on their own. 

This cover can be seen as a conceptual design because he makes social commentary by using images, by viewing it you can understand that it refers to racial issues and gender based issues.

The album cover of Talking heads can be seen as a conceptual  design because he combined two mediums and used photo manipulation to make one idea. This was the work that classified his work as being unconventional.
