Historically Influenced Typography


Well, here it is. My second entry in my typography journal. I can actually thank my visual thinking class for this entry, interestingly enough. All these collages I've had to put together has made quite a tall pile of magazines at my house. Looking through them, I found this awesome spread in my US Bowler magazine. I stopped to look at it immediately; the primary colors, to me, stuck out the most. Remembering back to our lecture on the history of typography, Constructivism was based on a primary color palette. This spread, however, doesn't really incite patriotism, like Constructivism suggests. Instead, I feel with the san serif typefaces and the asymmetrical composition, it also suggests influences of Bauhaus. Bauhaus was and still is extremely influential to modern day graphic design, including this piece.

This photo was taking in a US Youth Bowler Magazine at my house on Thursday, September 24th at around 7:00.
