Today was a good day is History of Graphic Design. De Stijl and Bauhaus are two movements I've always been fascinated with. The use of purely vertical and horizontal in the design is fantastic and amazes me. The methods developed during the Bauhaus are what really make Graphic Design it's own medium. Type and image combinations with Modernist form and communication make for beautiful works by Herbert Bayer and Moholy Nagy. New Typography is very nice because of its use of diagonals and white space. Tschichold very important in revival of traditional typography. Dutch design is in it's own realm, they recycle ideas and use them in a new way. I love the printing arts they used. The ads and posters are so exciting and modern to this day.
A lot of the styles and techniques we saw today are very similar to todays modern design. The use of type and image is pretty much what graphic design is today. The use of random versus structure allows for designers today to create visual texture in our designs. Many of these techniques have been brought into todays motion graphics.
