Abstract

This Superior Course in Technology in Graphic Design conclusion coursework is about an analysis of the most characteristic visual aspects of the graphic design utilized in the visual communication of artists during the punk movement, specifically during the 1970s decade, in the city of New York. This analysis was based on an imagetic and historical search concerned with the cultural production from that period, and with the appointment of relevant interactions between music and graphic design, culminating in a definition of punk visuality and its ideals relating to production techniques, diagramming and visual attribution of values relevant to the aesthetic. To reach that result, an itinerary for analysis was appointed, based on image analysis and bibliographic survey for the historical context to be defined. It had as a final objective the production of illustrations based on the punk aesthetic and its predominant design techniques, for it to be used as t-shirt prints, made available through the internet, intended for handmade production.
