For the top piece, I created emphasis on the horse with the red X. I used the typography as leading lines towards the horse and to take the eye around the whole image. I was thinking about the theme of freedom in that piece.

The design on the right had a lot of circles to move the eye throughout the piece. The figure, while cut into blocks along with the grid, has a heavy black line that assists in creating balance.

Peter Behrens Fonts and Art

German architect and designer Peter Behrens was a founding member of the Deutsche Werkbund and a figure in the Jugendstil movement. Although his work in architecture is what made him most famous, he also made contributions to typography and graphic design. He isn't well-known for designing fonts, though. Behrens influenced a wide range of artistic disciplines and was a major contributor to the development of modern architecture and design. Look into his collaborations with other artists of the era as well as his work with the Deutsche Werkbund if you're interested in his contributions to typography and graphic design.  Collections pertaining to Peter Behrens may be found in organizations like the Museum of Applied Arts (Kunstgewerbemuseum) or the Bauhaus Archiv in Berlin.

The International Typographic Style is a systemic approach to graphic design that emerged during the 1930s – 1950s but continued to develop internationally. It is considered the basis of the Swiss style. It expanded on and formalized the modernist typographic innovations of the 1920s that emerged in part out of art movements such as Constructivism (Russia), De Stijl (The Netherlands) and at the Bauhaus (Germany).The International Typographic Style has had profound influence on graphic design as a part of the modernist movement, impacting many design-related fields including architecture and art. It emphasizes simplicity, clarity, readability, and objectivity. Hallmarks of the style are asymmetric layouts, use of a grid, sans-serif typefaces like Akzidenz Grotesk and Helvetica, and flush left, ragged right text. The style is also associated with a preference for photography in place of illustrations or drawings. Many of the early International Typographic Style works featured typography as a primary design element in addition to its use in text.

-African-American author James Baldwin has also been called a "late modernist" as were poets of the Beat Generation.

I wanted to also find a serif font, so I typed in Swiss fonts and one of my favorite fonts Bodoni popped up. Bodoni is the name given to the serif typefaces first designed by Giambattista Bodoni in the late eighteenth century and frequently revived since. Bodoni's typefaces are classified as Didone or modern.

Giambattista Bodoni

• Saluzzo Piedmont Italy, 1740

• Parma French Empire,1813

• Served an apprenticeship at the press of the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith

• In 1768 he was asked to assume management of the Royal Press (Stamperia Reale), the press of the Duke of Parma. There he produced Italian, Greek, and Latin books and printed materials for court use

•  The most famous of which were his fine editions of the writings of Horace and Virgil in 1791 and 1793, respectively, and Homer’s Iliad in 1808

•  He received compliments from the pope and was honored with a pension by Napoleon Bonaparte.

閑けさや　岩にしみいる　蝉の声

Shizukesa ya/ Iwa ni shimiiru/ Semi no koe

[English]

Oh, tranquility!

Penetrating the very rock,

A cicada’s voice.

[Spanish]

¡Oh, tranquilidad!

Penetrando en la misma roca,

La voz de una cigarra.
