The Eames' influence on information design

The Eames' work focused heavily on informing an audience in a visually applicable way. The timeline about Robert Crumb's stylistic portfolio presents the facts in a cartoon fashion. Styling the timeline to reflect the underground comic format was a design that informs the viewer the purpose and the topic of the poster. Our underground comics ratings scale is simliar to the powers of 10 video as the layers of comics are divided based upon ground levels. All designers should present information in a manner relative to the topic of material being portrayed.

CAMOUFLAGE:

FUNCTIONAL OBJECT: telephone pole

YELLOW SUBMARINE:

The element of design that best attracts attention is the use of color emphasized by the use of line. Throughout the film, dancing colors and lines paint a vivid picture of design at the time. Posters of the 1960s were less informative than in previous decades, but the lack of information was overcompensated for in the use of psychedelic patterns and transforming shapes. Mixed with the fanciful and highly unrealistic plot line, Yellow Submarine utilizes an emotive style of design to express ideals not easily told in a factual sense.
