Helvetica
Notes:
-Types present a mood, or atmosphere
--Most used font
-Typography is actually white; all about the spaces between the lines
--Life of a designer is a life of fight
-American Airlines hasn't changed their Helvetica logo in years
--Helvetica emerges in 1957
-Modernists believe typfaces should be clear &straightforward; grids are used to make clear and readable; to give it order
--Helvetica's first name was actually Hamburg Maschinenbaues
-Handwritten typeface was very common in the 1950s
--Choosing typeface controls the voice of the message; changes how the reaction to it shall turn out
-Has become the typeface of capitalism
--Can't use a typeface too much or it loses its excitement
-Originally tried breaking away from Helvetica; handwritten, expressive type came back
--Just because you can read something doesn't mean it conveys itself correctly
-Typography has thought to have been fully explored, leaving its time to draw to a close
--Typeface, in the end, also brought with it the ability to express a person's personality through it

Bauhaus: The Face of the 20th Century
Notes:
-The Bauhaus was the focal point of many avante-garde ideas & tried dealing with life on an aesthetic level; was the greatest design school of the 20th century
--Bauhaus contributed in the fact that it created what Walter Gropius, founder of "The Bauhaus" ("The Building") Institution, likes to call 'visual science'
-Walter was a German architect who thought of The Bauhaus and dreamed of it during his services as an officer in The Great War
--1919_Manifesto made by Walter about The Bauhaus; aim of all creative activities was building
-Bauhaus born in old city of Weimar, the same city that's the birthplace also of the German Declaration
--Workshops established to train people in two ways: as artists as well as craftsmen; known as 'backbone' of The Bauhaus
-Bauhaus staff originally consisted of the most original artists known around at the time
--Basic structure of Compulsory Foundation Coarse (made by metaphysics painter Johann) was to basically help students find their own way of creating
-The Bauhaus attracted politically radical students
--Segregation originally not used in The Bauhaus, as Walter believed all were or could be craftsmen, but implemented stereotypical classes for women such as weaving workshops when a large number enrolled, enough to make Walter worry over what could happen should they not be able to make certain things that males can
-One brilliant woman (Marianna), however, was in metal workshops making beautiful household materials from copper and other metals
--Primary colors & shapes inspired the creation of the theater workshop
-Had first public exhibition in 1923, showing results of first few years work & revealed transition from expressionistic, early Bauhaus to the later, constructivist Bauhaus
--Publicly closed Bauhaus in Weimar when nazis flooded around government; they reopened in Dessau in 1925
-The Bauhaus moved to Berlin after Nazis shut them down in Dessau, them (the nazis) believing that since they were communists that they must be evil
--Shut down in Berlin soon after moving, with even some nazi soldiers taking some of the students
-The Bauhaus 'died' in Germany, but Chicago turned out becoming the architectural proving ground for the industrial sized world
