Why have you kept a reference of “Works that impacted the world of design”?
Hey! You found one of the images that have taken my fancy while I was browsing Pinterest recently. I'm not claiming ownership of any of these images, but I do claim to have good taste.
Pinterest is not just a social media platform; for designers, it's a treasure trove of ideas, trends, and inspirations that can shape a brand's character.
Using reference materials, like mood boards and look books, is essential for designers to draw inspiration and conceptualize fresh ideas. In today's digital age, design has evolved to be more interactive, responsive, and user-centric than ever before. Design is the bridge that connects a brand's vision with its audience, creating a cohesive and immersive experience. Every design choice, from the color palette to the imagery used, either elevates or dilutes the brand's image and message. A brand's identity is intricately carved, defined, and shaped by its design choices over time. Design, though often silent, is a universal language that resonates with audiences across cultures and geographies.
What Pinterest tells us about this image
Modernism transformed American graphic design in the mid-20th Century and established a visual language that still holds authority today impacting the way many designers work. “Virtually all good design in our world today is either an adaptation of the visual language of Modernism or a reaction against it,” state Steven Heller and Greg D’Onofrio in the introduction to their new book _The Moderns: Midcentury American Graphic Design._ – This was originally posted on Pinterest.
