Graphic design in history

The graphics appeared as soon as a person began painting the cave walls with paintings and making rock drawings, developed along with book printing in the states of the East, but became an independent science only in the twentieth century.

Japan, Switzerland, the USA and Poland created their own graphic schools. Graphic design in Russia began to flourish along with the works of Russian constructivists. Geometric, photographic, slightly angular style preferred simple colors - black, red, gray and white. In all its glory, it manifested itself in military and postwar posters. Today, graphics is developing so rapidly in Russia that it has penetrated everywhere: advertising, packaging of products, design of political campaigns surround us everywhere, and Russian specialists are in demand in the graphic design market and receive world awards. The brightest representative of them was the academician of the Academy of Graphic Design, the president of the Russian group of the Alliance Graphique Internationale club Vladimir Chaika, whose birthday and Designer's Day coincide.

Who are Graphic Designers?

The perpetrators of the celebrations differ from their colleagues in the instruments of labor: they do not use canvas and brushes, instead they have a computer mouse in their hands, a monitor in front of their eyes, and a huge arsenal of special programs. Professionals of their business have excellent taste, artistic talent and creative thinking, which are always welcomed in advertising agencies, publishing houses and software development. Interesting and difficult work is not only in demand, but also worthily paid for. Their goal is not only to create a beautiful picture, but also to achieve their goals: sell, teach, attract attention. It was in honor of such high professionals that the Day of Designer Graphics was established.
