¶ … young startup business of Rollout, Smith declared that wallpaper was becoming " hip" as a result of co-owners Jonathan Nordrick's and Anita Modha's new popularity in the highly competitive design industry[footnoteRef:1]. As seen on their company website, "this creative studio designs and digitally prints custom wallpapers by the square foot," as they " embrace texture, expression, the motion and color, filling the gaping hole left by modernism."[footnoteRef:2] The purpose of this essay is to investigate this interesting conglomeration in order to highlight the unique characteristics that sets this organization apart from other designers and artists.

The production of Rollout's goods is simplified and perfectly designed for today's society with all of its demanding requirements and new opportunities. Technology has allowed these company's small office space to serve as their headquarters in a custom-designed shop that would normally require larger amounts of space and more resources in order to be successful. International and national business applications have become extremely simplified and streamlined with the use of new printing and communication technology that have been employed by this duo.
Rollout's unique business model combines practical necessity and artistic vision into a profitable business model and simultaneously inspiring both sides of each community....
This organization capitalizes on this artistic vision by having the ability to have artists specifically design wallpaper, streamlining and branding certain products unique to their establishment while creating artistic buzz at the same time. Certain artists are even featured on their website such as EJ elements, Wayfinder and QRious. These artists explore their different aesthetic preferences combining individual color patterns and flourishing lines. Symmetry and balance seem to be proportionally aligned in these designs, however any styles are welcome here at the Rollout factory.
Contemporary culture is reflected in all aspects of this organization. The use of technology in the individualistic nature of society and the ability to create your own personal artistic vision in new and simple ways has allowed this company to have an impact around the world. The owners are proud of their business as the get to do what they love and elevate wallpaper to the level of art[footnoteRef:3]. Artistically, the wallpapers obviously inherently reflect the artistic vision of today's world, signifying the significant impact corporations have within the artistic world and the dwindling opportunities for wholesome and creative art are demonstrated by this particular business. Regardless of why the business came together, the human spirit will continue to artistically reflect its existence in whatever fashion or form that is most readily available to its aspiring creator.

Graphic Design The objective of this work is to examine the knowledge needed by the graphic designer both historically and in today's modern world. Swanson (2010) writes in the work entitled "Graphic Design Education as a Liberal Art: Design and Knowledge in the University and the 'Real World'" states "Though hardly homogeneous, the vast majority of graphic design programs, whether in vocational schools, art schools, or universities, are, at least in concept,

The text that the scribe had to deal with was meant to transmit ideas and feelings, but the most important thing were the ideas. Nowadays, the role of the graphic designer is to produce an emotion which is strong enough in order to make the idea even stronger. People who, in the Medieval times had contact with a text "produced" by a scribe were supposed to learn. The "text"
At this level, focus should be on meeting the needs of the graphic design industry. It is at the graduate level where intense discussion of theory should be developed. I agree with Frascara on this point. In most disciplines, such discussion is typically conducted at the graduate level. The average graphic design student can benefit from this work where applicable, especially if Frascara's proposed reference centers are created. One of
Graphic Design Project PACHA The shape of this design is irregular albeit the height and width are remarkably similar. The design uses bright colors -- notably red, yellow, several shades of blue and white as well -- and its texture has layers of shapes and colors. The feel of the design is ethereal, like it is floating in space. It has the texture and value that gives the impression of three dimensional.
Ongoing turmoil actually led to the eventual development of a wide variety of distinctly Mexican typefaces and other graphic features, many of them collected and/or created by Ignacio Cumplido. This graphic designer (before the term had been coined) and printer created graphics and fonts that were at once bold and striking yet exceedingly simplistic and direct, providing hundreds of different varieties and endless combinations for use on posters and pamphlets
