Frauk Stegmann is a London based illustrator, originally from Namibia, who is perhaps best known for her equisite illustrations of birds and animals. Fraukes tactile approach to graphic design is experimental and varied, extending to animation and fashion multimedia.
Stegmann is South Africas most internationally connected designer. She has done work for the likes of Peter Saville, The Campana brothers, Eley Kishimoto, Miu Miu, Peter Jenson and Wallpaper magazine. Her work has a restrained, pared-down feel wich complements her facination with craft. Stegmanns meticulously illustrated birds and animals are often beautifully foiled onto unlikely choices ofpaper. Her singnature embossed motifs, gracefully employed on the folded- card CD cover designs for a series of experimental jazz releases for the 'Treader' label in 2004, which feature gold-foiled birds and animals on heavy, cheap, coloured board which have an amazing effect, and are produced with one of only two craftmen in England, still capable of hand-engraving for print. Stegmann draws the detailed illustrations, which are then reproduced as dies.
I love the way Stegmanns work has a handmade feel and her ability to illustrate such realistic, detailed creatures. She brings together fine art and design, which i feel has an appreciation.
When cult English singer Jarvis Cocker got married, Stegmann had the previledge to produce his wedding invitation; the final design included a luxurious pink foil embossment of a black bird. Stegmann says her work emphasizes "a return to the craft of design, to tactility in print, and a movement away from the superficiality and speed".
In their lives a lot of people aspire to be on the cover of a magazine, but I have always dreamed of being the one who creates that cover! It's the thing that attracts you to the magazine initially. It's the most important piece of advertising in the magazine. It's a summery of the whole magazine; style, stories, design & layout. Every millimeter of space is important on a magazine cover, the colours, the type, layout as well as qualities and quantities. Magazine covers are like a pictorial record of events, as well as artists and current styles for that era. Each cover is indicative of the era it was designed in, the audience it was designed for, in some cases the designer who designed it and the country it was aimed at.
In my report I will be looking at some of the best & worst magazine cover designs and colours, giving my own opinions as well as that of the professionals at ASME. The trends are also important to me and I will be looking at magazine covers from the 50's through to the present as a comparison in colours as will as layout styles and the heading typography.
BRANDING...Major brands, not so much modern, but those that have stood the test of time. Famous designs! Examples;

"Paula Scher"
Designer and Artist
The relationship between fine art and design.
Paula Scher has a career which fuses rock and roll, corporate identity creation, and impressionistic geography. Scher studied at the Tyler School of Art in Philadephia, Pennsylvania, earning a bachelor of fine arts. Scher has been a principle in the New York office of the distinguished international design consultancy Pentagram since 1991. She began her career as an art director in the 1970's and early 80's, with her electric approach to typography became highly influential. In the mid-1990's her landmark identity for The Public Theatre fused high and low into a wholly new symbology for cultural institutions, and her architectual collaborations have re-imagined the urban landscape as a dynamic environment of dimensional design.
In the early 1990's Paula Scher began painting small maps covered in words and colour depictions of continents and regions. Within a few years the maps grew larger and more elaborate. All of this detail is the result of work that Scher describes as "incredibly laborious and obsessive". The placement of states,cities and political statistics and facts are not precisely placed or accurate. Scher just went with it and added things almost in a meditative state where her imagination directed her. Schers sense of colour and use of typography placed intuitively has no doubt come through with years of text placement and colour theory from her graphic design career. I think her paintings are amazing and it goes to show you can do it all. Paint, design etc and combine them all.
There are various forms of expressions of feelings; some express them by writing, some by gestures or some by actions. However, people today are expressing their thoughts and emotions in the form of body art known as Tattoo.
Tattoos are apart of almost ever culture From Egypt to Japan, England to France
The word tattoo is said to has two major derivations- from
The Polynesian word ‘ta’ which means striking something
And the Tahitian word ‘tatau’ which means ‘to mark something’.
the history of tattoo began over 5000 years ago and is as
diverse as the people who wear them.
Tattoos have become increasing popular in the last 2 decades and have become well recognised as a distinctly personal and expressive art form
The popularity of tattooing has surged in recent years, says Darren Brass, one of the tattoo artists featured in Miami Ink. "With so many entertainers and sports figures having tattoos, Jane and Joe Public are much more comfortable with having one too."
The men and women getting tattoos are now from every walk of life, adds Brass, and "if they had a good experience with their first one, chances are they're thinking about their next one."
Some of the true legends of tattoo industry include
Brandon Bond Owner of “All or Nothing Tattoo” in Atlanta
Horiyoshi III Owner of“Horiyoshi ill Tattoos” in Yokohama, Japan
Bert Grimm Owner of “Bert Grimm’s World Famous Tattoo Shop “ in Long Beach C.A
Deano and Ghiller “ The Tat Shack” Malta
According to a 2006 American Society of Dermatological Surgery survey, 24 percent of Americans between the ages of 18 and 50 have a tattoo. That's one in four, a whopping number compared to the 10 percent of Americans who were inked in 1936, according to Life Magazine. U.S. News & World Report said tattooing is one of the fastest growing markets, along with computers, cell phones and internet offers.
In conclusion tattoo's are no longer a just for metal bands and gangs its now regarded as a deeply expressive form of art .
This one is Cloe... because Clea said it looked like her and I agree.
