The historic and technical initial stages of graphic design in Jordan


By the information technology and printing industries, Graphic design was developed. At Jordan in 1940s people brought printing by trading with different countries. Time to time the advancement in the printing goes by wooden moulds, letterpress then zinc clichés and thereby started using the printing tools. As like the other countries Jordan’s printing evolution was similar. The scope of the printing technology was restricted for new designs. Instead of making photos we made clichés. Black and white printing was been there and there range was restricted to stationary, cards and newspapers. By the use of raised printing and Typolography printers can make a full color print and this printing is been used now a day’s also. Improvement in picture reproduction and color can be improved by Offset printing. Graphic designer for graphic designing was developed at the same time. Prepress and film montage is been used for printing. For printing the final articles prepress is been used. Until 1989 this prepress service limited to single institution only.
During late sixties, graphic designer were not design pioneers. They have learnt a lot from their collage, they recreate the designs that are used in other countries. Initially business cards, envelopes, greeting cards were used but now folders and brochures were also been used. There work was mostly limited to newspapers. For offset printing graded colors, air brush technology was used. The Use of this technology was limited to few people.
