The Future is here Exhibition 

 

 The exhibition was about future design which illustrated technology, art and design that we can see in our today and future life. Of course it represented possible future but some of them are used  recently such as robots or driver-less car.

One of my interesting design was about Alone together project that displayed a partner in the picture, are sleeping in their bed without any attention to each other they are looking at their phones. I found it interesting because it means you can be alone even if you live with others and it is exactly our current life.

My other favorite design was a companion robot which was designed interact with human and able to recognize faces and voices of family and friends. In my idea this robot can be turned from an artificial creature to a special friend to us who can help everyone which is a positive look however in negative point, it can be more intelligent than human in future and it sound scary as well.

 

 There were lots of interesting designs such as The world`s largest co-living building, Longevity pills, A robot was doing laundry, Transmittable internet by trees and the first espresso machine designed to be use in space

At the end we could pick up individual letter to collaborate in completing the sentence ourselves which was the future is...

 

Two Favorite Designer

My two favourit Artist designers are Morteza Momayez and Aydin Aghdashloo that I consider a part of their working. Momayez was one of the best Graphic designer in Iran who had an innovation in Graphic design. He was painter, illustrator, designer,... and he put calligraphy, photography and illustration in his works so as we can see he used the simple visual of art in his design. 

Most of his works are black and white or maybe he just added one color because I think he paid attention to his design and the space of main element more. He used the Persian traditional shapes in his works as well.

Aghdashlo is another famous Painter and Graphic designer in Iran who is interest in including surreal spaces in his works. He painted portrait having no faces influenced by Gergeo Deki Riko and then  became a large part of his series "Years of Fire and Ice"

 Another his famous artwork is "In praise of Sandro Botticelli" with no face again which seems bizarre but interesting.

He works on two occidental and oriental painting. I feel he has a secret in his artworks due to covering all faces in his occidental painting however we can see this mystery feeling in his some oriental painting less.

 I believe Momayez`s and Aghdashlo`s artworks are different but they have some similarities as well and I like both. Although Momayez used less color, his designs are more apprehensible and Aghdashlo focus on human figures most with secretly identity. They both use traditional design which are Traditional flowers in Momayez`s logos and Miniature (traditional Persian painting) in Aghdashlo`s artwork.

The Steps of Designing Process

Why am I studying MA in Graphic Design?

I am studying Graphic Design due to my interest in designing logo, poster, leaflet,... and especially working with photos, calligraphy and colors make me pleased. Firstly I really enjoy working with Graphic softwares and I like to be professional to use them.

Moreover it is good opportunity to meet more people who have common ideas as you have. Beside that after finishing education as a MA Graphic Designer your favorite journey is going to be started.
