SUPER GRAPHICS
Super graphics is a branch of identity design that combines the appearance and essence of
the design object in every direction. It is part of environmental graphics which is the result of
combination knowledge of different fields like architecture, environmental studies, art and design.It is a two dimensional graphic medium effectively representing identity in three and four
dimensional contexts which surround us from everywhere. As technology has changed, identity
design starts having expressions like, it is diverse, organic, flexible and in multiple dimensions.
Therefore graphic design is expanding it’s boundaries, coworking and is merging together with
other areas of design and art, and continuously investigating possibilities in multi-media
environment. As a result environmental super graphics comes in to existence and widely used.
The public remembering the intended subject of identity impressively for a lengthy amount of time the reason behind is the patterns of super graphics present clear structures and styles that their elements can be freely morphed and liberal, organic and flexible expressions are there. And those patterns are constantly repeats so that they gives the essence of visual identity to viewers.
Supergraphics are like large sized poster in the street and is perceivable and communicatable from a far distance. It is communicatable even inside a driving car that its ability to deliver information is efficient.When we are on the highway, we easily see large size billboards and many factories and facilities byhighways use supergraphics with symbolic colors and signs. Supergraphics makes walls talk. Supergraphics is a way of creating Space Identity. Especially store identity requires space graphics tmanifest its characteristics, and supergraphics are appropriate for enforcing spatial promotions. Supergraphics manifest identity like clothing and changes the landscape of the urban environment like putting on fashionable clothes. As in
fashion, the style works as an intentional symbolic code that lets us read the identity of an
individual and this works in the same way for the supergraphics that it uses the similar grammar as the fashion code. Diverse styles tell us the identity the society traditionally define and designate. Also when we perceive supergraphics the body moves to read it as our eys move with the body. Such movements and flow of time lead to the narrative of 4 dimensional and
synesthesia, and interactivenss. The existing supergraphics tend to be used more as artistic
means of expression and continuation from decoration. But supergraphics, 4 dimensional canvas, works as a branding clothing of a building. The expression of identity is used for the branding of products, corporate symbols, logos, and promotions as colors and signs to symbolize the subject and they use large billboards and LED media boards. In super graphics it is important to consider the two major elements which are memorability and meaningfulness. In super graphics the visual identity is functioning as a visual mnemonic-inducer that lets the brand stay in the public mind along time as the intended image. Therefore, identity is the essence and core of a particular subject and it creates its own language to communicate its difference from the others. As noted, appearance of identity is demanded to change frequently, and the immediate reason is the reaction to the competitive capitalism. We can easily steal a glimpse of extensive identity design in populated urban environment. A building now functions as a landmark in geographical context as well as a symbolic logo of a brand. But with technological advances, more imaginative architectural form sand facades are possible, and symbolic function of surfacial exterior of a building becomes more important as more exceptional approaches are required in branding strategy. The image and characteristics of buildings and space collect people and transform paths of flow to function as specific means of promoting images to urban dwellers. Now architecture co-owns the purpose of creating symbolically dimensional spectacles in the urban settlement. Super graphics is fulfilling all today’s demand and functioning well in projecting brand’s identity by having technology in running time and also have possibility to move ahead.
