A Foot of Decency

-------
Bauhaus Characteristics In Graphic Design
- geometric, functional & modern
- order, asymmetry
- rectangular grid structure
- circles, squares, rectangles, triangles, bars & rules to unify or separate elements vs. being used for decoration
- horizontal & verticals were dominant
- extreme contrast in type size & weight to achieve various degrees of emphasis
- type & pictures sized to the same column width
- typography without capitals - Sans Serif
- introduction of flush left - rag right typography
- copy rotated 90 degrees
- only structurally essential components used
- elementary forms & the use of black plus one bright hue
- colour tints emphasis key words
- open composition on an implied grid system of sizes for type, rules, and pictorial images brought unity to the design

People on the bus are psychotic. For example, this old woman who had a cain and wanted to get off the bus first. She yelled at everyone to wait. I know she had a cain, but doesn't that seem a tad bit rude?

I drew a teapot today.
It resembled a pig smoking a pipe....
I think I should keep practicing.

oh, bauhaus.

there's a band by that name i believe. which i always kindof wondered about. that would just not be my choice.

next time you should make the teapot look like a brontosaurus. although that might be counter-productive.
