Flux 1- Group Presentation Research

For Flux 1 with in my group we had to research the Flux (Change) in Graphic Design. I helped research into Branding and Brand awareness, and how brands now have more opportunities to get their logo out there than ever before because of new Technologies such as; 

1. The Internet
2. Television
3. Social Networking

As well as the previously used Print designs such as posters, flyers, Billboards etc which are being use less.

To research into Branding I looked at

To research the effects of this I found this new report on McDonalds Branding and how it impacts on children.

I also researched into Apple Inc and how they have changed the design industry and the music indistry by inventing new technologies With the invention of the iPad, iPhones, and iPods this is possible as now designers now design more for digital social media which can be carried around 24/7.
