The Graphic Design were late to embrace the web. The low resolution of the computer interface has for a long time off designers. When Graphic Designers realised they should get involved in Web Design. Many of the Graphic Designers made the mistake of transporting what they did on paper to the new medium and this resulted in loads of JPGS.
Maybe the biggest reason the Graphic Designers held back was because the visual aspect is a small part of overall site design. Web Design has to pay attention to
jmatters that are treated routinely in print media.
Graphic Designers are teaming up with illustrators, software operators, editional and interaction designers. The best thing designers can offer to this multifaceted medium is visual clarity and consistency.

KID ACNE ESSAY
Kid Acne was born Lilongwe Malawi in 1978. He grew up in Lutterworth Leicestershire and is currently based in Sheffield. He started drawing graffiti when he was 12 he was inspired by its infinite scale and colour. I really like his work because of the style he has and the way he draws the massive graffiti writing which is normally white colour and has a black drop shadow.
As you can see his work is really big and is white colour and has a black drop shadow which i think looks really good. Also he creates large pieces of graffiti writing which has some intresting slogans which say "IT'LL DO FOR NOW" and "STICK TO THE PLAN"
He draws his graffiti in public places all over the world so that people notice it really easily.
In my opinion he has a very Unique style which makes his work stand out.

SUSTAINABLE FISHING
The future of the fish supper is on longer guaranteed because many fish stocks are in state of serious decline because of overfishing a great threat to Marin wildlife and habitats. With almost 80% of worlds fish stock full or over exploited from fishing, plus pressure from climate change and pollution, we're moving into dangerous waters when it comes to the fish future.
If people don't change anything about how much fish we get this will affect all the fishermen because they will loose their jobs where people will just not be able to eat as much fish but its a big change for the fishermen because it will change everything for them their whole life because they spent most of their time on water it will be a big change for them changing their job and working in e.g. office where theres no water as well as the fishermen it will affect different species because excessive fishing threats them with extinction
The big organisations which a trying to do something about this are Greenpeace, Marine conservation society and Marine Stewardship Council these 3 organisations are the main ones which are trying to change something about this Fishing issue.
All what we can do is fish at certain times of the year like e.g. summer and only fish certain species like don't only fish 1 and same fish all the time because that will just make it even worse so we have to try fish different types of fish to stop this issue.

VECTOR DRAWINGS
The Vector Images are made up from many individual, scalable objects. These objects are made with mathematical equations instead of the standard Pixels this means that they will always render at the highest quality. The objects might be created from curves lines and other diffrent shapes all with editable attributes like color fill. Changing the attributes of a Vector Object like the color of it will not affect the object it self. You can change them around with out destroying the basic shape. Because they're scalable, vector-based images are resolution independent. You can increase and decrease the size of vector images to any size you want. Advantage of vector images is that they're not restricted to a rectangular shape like bitmaps. Vector images have many advantages, but the primary disadvantage is that they're unsuitable for producing realistic imagery like photos . Vector images are usually made up of solid areas of color or gradients, but they cannot be made to look like a realistic photograph.
Some examples of Vector Drawings:
I chose these drawings because I think they show well what vector drawings are how they look and present.

DAVID SHRIGLEY
I went through David Shrigleys's book Kill Your Pets and i think his book is quiet wierd because it only has like 3 - 5 words on each page but it has some cool phrases, they are all wrote on with a thick board marker and he has some pictures in the book
like this is the front page of the book its really big writing and its wrote on with a thick marker and its all wrote in Black Colour. After we had a look through David Shrigley's Book we had a look at his video (Who i am and what i want) i'd say the viedo was quiet strange it was a type of video which i've never seen before so it was something new.
