World Graphic Design

World Graphic Design is a survey of graphic work being carried out in the most popular design styles. For example, posters, book and album covers, packaging and promotion. This book collected many works of graphic designers who come from different regions outside the United Kingdom, mainland Europe, North America and Australasia. They are divided into four sections, Africa, the Far East, Latin America and the Middle East.

The aim of this book is to promote the culture convergence through graphic design.
For each region, the individual designers to describe their most profound works and to give a local perspective on the role and direction of graphic design. In addition, the designers tried to combine traditional forms of cultural expression with modern media and to use design for effective political and social commend. What is more, they also want to expand the potential of graphic design within their own countries.

This is an example in World Graphic Design, these three posters are designed by Nigerian designer named Segun Olude in order to spread the local culture and to expand the tourism. 
In poster 1, he selected the person who rides a camel as the theme to demonstrate the characteristic of Nigeria. The text "Desert Taxi" on the poster increased the sense of fun.

In poster 2, I think the theme is "Welcome", the image comes from the Nigeria's traditional festivals and it can express the theme exactly. When we see this poster, we can feel the enthusiasm of friendly local people. 




In poster 3, Segun used many small representative images that can accurately represent the characteristics of Nigeria to attract the tourists all over the world.
