De Stijl

Bauhaus

Jan Tschichold

Kandinsky

Neue Typography

The bauhaus was truly a unique place and one that

I wish I had been a part of unfortunately it as all

good things must, came to an end. I was upset to hear

that it went in the direction of complete functionality

towards the end. I feel that once that happened it

was pretty much over anyway. The integration of all

forms of art I feel is essential but many designers were

never artists so naturally they do not feel this way.

I was impressed by Jan Tschichold's decision to recant

his beliefs about the Neue Typography it takes a true

man to admit incorrectness. I feel as if the best is behind

us at times and that saddens me but hopefully newer

and greater minds will fill their roles. I look forward to

learning more about graphic design and using it to help

propel this world into a more accepting and understanding

chapter. Though I will probably die without success.
