I had more to work with on this project but I still used calligraphy and my husband's san-serif for headings. An inexpensive two-color brochure from a series that won an award for college publications that year from American College Public Relations Association or ACPRA. I don't think ACPRA exists anymore but Whitworth was more than happy with winning their first-ever college publications award.

 

I ordered the type from a printer in Spokane, (not too much choice to work with), got the type repros shipped back from them on the Greyhound bus. Then I created a mechanical with type and stats of headings that I pasted in position, with rubylith windows for the photos to be dropped in by the printer after they had been screened, specified the PMS color, then shipped the mechanical back to Whitworth college on the Greyhound bus. Then all I could do was hope that it would turn out as I had planned.

A. M. Cassandre, the master designer of Art Deco. I think tears when I think of his sad ending after a productive lifetime producing the most innovative graphic design.

 

Cassandre took advertising into the modern age of the 1920's, especially with his use of iconographic symbols integrated with letterforms.

Flyers that get posted on a bulletin board have to be simple, act as a poster and still carry the basic information when the application form is torn off. The design of this may look stark but post it on a typical bulletin board, especially in a college environment where you have big time competition for getting attention and the starkness works for it against all of the visual dazzle already on the board.

 

One of my all-time favorite cartoons was one of Sad Sack peering through layers of posted material on a military display board until he had come to the board itself where a very small posted piece of paper said "Now hear this. All troops required on the green at 6:00 am. by order of General G. Washington."

Classic example of a New Graphic Design layout using only two colors, (a two color run for a printing press is much cheaper than full color) but was an exciting visual utilizing space, tension, asymmetrical layout, and san serif letterform .

The Russians used halftone screens with very low dpi in their printing process for their posters. For mass produced poster work you don't really need high resolution if the printing budget is limited. You design with it, not against it. Designed by Trubanov 1989.

A book cover designed by John Heartfield, the adopted name of Helmut Herzfelde, who had served two years in the German military, WWI. He was also a founding member of the Berlin DaDa in 1919. He was a successful graphic artist who combined photography, type and other visual effects into photomontages that fought the corruption of the Weimar Republic and the rising Nazi movement.

When the New Graphic Design issue no.1 first came to our office in 1960, my husband studied it thoroughly to find the underlying grid that the whole publication was based on. (I still have the tissue paper system that he worked out.) He was fascinated with it since the grid is essential for organization of masses of information.

 

There is usually a grid automatically worked out in design work for letterpress (it's the nature of the process) but with the advent of offset printing, anything goes any old place you want and especially now with designing on computer.

"Establishing the most appropriate grid for a book on the Indy 500, based on 4 columns and 4 rows. This grid offers the possibility of having horizontal pictures based on the 2-to-3 ratio proportion (typical of slides) from small modules to a half page to a full spread".
