The Bauhaus changed type and design for ever. I was at Half Price books looking at some old magazines in San Antonio and I was admiring the bold, yet not neon color choices that the Bauhaus decided to run with. In this first picture I enjoyed the white space and the over lapping large letters, expertly where the a and u line up. The second one has a strong sense of line and shape, then enter-grading type into the grid. the third design i was pulled to has over sized letters bleeding into one another creating beautiful shapes that fade in and out of the readability zone. Finally the 4th one is a modern poster that has stolen inspiration from the Bauhaus, using the full round O and a extended fount, this shows just one very small example of how the Bauhaus moment has influenced us today, knowingly and unknowingly.
