Movie Time!!!!
Today was a pretty easy day in History of GIC. We started off talking about Vienna work and the Vienna Succession. Vienna is referring to Austria....not Italy. I really like the fact that the men apart of the Vienna Succession used design for household items and furniture. This is a way we can kind of realize why furniture we have now looks more elegant and well designed than in the past. We then talked about Peter Behrins and his sense of design. He, like the students at GlasGow School, had a very specific style. He had rectilinear structure with circtilinear objects. He soon developed using grid systems to create his designs. I know Dorian loved this because he always tells us about using grids to create a strong structure for our designs. We then went on to talk about propaganda posters during WW1 in Germany compared to the U.S. and other ally countries. Then we went on to watch a film that was all about relating the history of the world compared to Graphic Design History. It was really interesting to see all of the relations of those time periods.

Today in History we learned a lot about Art Neuvou which I am very intrigued with. This, I feel is another time period in which so many different ideas were coming forth. My favorite topic today was the designers from GlasGow School called the 4. Their designs were very unique and different for the time period. I really would like to try their style in future projects. This was definitely a good day in History.

-pragmatic business
-affordable work
What a wonderful day in History of Graphic Design. We finished watching a video on William Morris and went on to discuss some stuff about Roycrofters and their amazing books. I really think these books are pretty amazing and now that I know that they are a historical kind of design for books I'm a little intrigued. We then took advantage of the day by reviewing what we've learned the past couple of classes for our exciting test on this following class.....EXCITING!!!!!!! We went over the origins of type and how it developed from the Romans all the way to William Morris, who was a big over achiever by the way with his hand-made wood prints of extremely intricate designs. We then looked at the practice test and some helpful ways to study for this test. Really helpful ways to remember things so thanks Dorian!! Well that was that day in History of Graphic Design. I'm so ready for this test.
