Abstract Details

2009, Master of Arts, Ohio State University, Industrial, Interior, and Visual Communications Design.
Street Art is an illicit sub-cultural activity that has permeated into various design applications in recent years. These ranges from design motifs on products to themes on television commercials. In 2008, Barack Obama commissioned Street Artist Shepard Fairey to design the posters for his presidency campaign. Barack Obama was elected as the president of United States in 2009 and Fairey’s HOPE poster has since been acquired by the U.S National Portrait Gallery; it was also officially made a permanent collection. This thesis intent to use the framework of the Blue Ocean Strategy to identify characteristics that have facilitated Street Art’s translation into mainstream design applications. Understanding these characteristics can provide designers with foresight to similar emerging cultural phenomena. In addition, this thesis attempts to contribute to the existing body of work on Street Art.
