So today was a pretty short day. I can definitely see how graphic design is developing through our learning. We saw some of Lazzitski's and other designers student work which was very similar to some of the work we have been doing in school now. This is definitely proof that we also have the potential to become just as great and innovative designers as they were. We went into understanding De Stijl which I feel is a lot of what I have been into doing lately, asymmetrical design. The more and we talk and learn in this class I see that we are definitely seeing a connection from then to now.
