He studied at the London College of Printing, between 76-79 he grew tired and quit his course; then he started his carrer by creating graphism for Punk and Inidie-Label music groups.
Starting at 79 Broody designed the album cover of Cabaret Voltairet, an indie group who was really provocative ( And let's keep in min the fact that Cabaret Voltaire was the name of a Coffee Shop in Zurique which the Dadaist meet up and performed.  The key-theme was the decay by progress, the loss of human identity by the alienated comunication created by machines.
By 1981 he worked as art director at Fetish Records. Later on he strated to design for bands such as Defunkt, Level42, Depeche Mode and James Brown. But only in the 80's would Brody reach fame.
Brody made his name largely popular through his work as art director for "The Face" He changed the "basic" and "structural" rules that existed in the British culture into a more artsy and vibrant aesthetic. He was the ancestor of a new generation of magazines, and was on e of the first designers to experiment with Desktop Publishing.
By 1987 he was the art director of the brithish magazine ARENA. His style consists on the evolution of typography traditions and image composicion at the start of the XX centuary.
Nowadays his studio has partenership with Nike, Mont Blanc, The MAM and Kunsthalle der Bundesrepublik.

The light goes trough the opening, then it reaches the internal part of the box, reflecting the image inverted and with the right swaped with the left.

The zoetrope consists of a cylinder with cuts vertically in the sides. On the inner surface of the cylinder is a band with images from a set of sequenced pictures. As the cylinder spins, the user looks through the slits at the pictures across. The name Zoetrope derivers from Greek, meaning “Wheel of Life”

It was composed mostly about the same parts as the Zoetrope, the big difference was  its narrow viewing slits with an inner circle of mirrors, in a way that the reflections of the pictures appeared more or less stationary in position as the wheel turned. The Praxinoscope was even able to be Project onto a screen as we can see below.

The devic employed any sort of image on transparent plates (usually made of glass), one or more lenses, and a light source., It was mostly used for entarteinment use in the 17th centuary. The magic lantern was in wide use from the 18th century until the mid-20th century, when it was superseded by a compact version that could hold many 35 mm photographic slides: the Slide-projector

The figures are controlled by people and may do many gestures and actions. It is said that Shadow Theater had started in South Asia, even thought there are records of it at the East and in Europe.

                An old Chinese legend says that in the year of 121, The emperor Wu Ti, of the Han dynasty, desperate with the death of his favorite dancer demanded for his Court Magician to bring her back from “The Realm of Shadows”, or else he would kill him.

The magician used his imagination and created a silhoutte of the dancer using the soft and transparent scales of a fish. Then he rushed to the palace garden and demanded for a white curtain to be prepared against the sunlight, so it could pass light.

On the day of the presentation for the emperor and his court, the magician made the silhouette of a dancer using his flute. Then, the Shadow Theater was born.

A great French film for Shadow Theatre is “Princes and Princess”, By Michael Ocelot, and I highly recommend for anyone to check it out.

Shipper makes her typography based on collages of old films, using people, drawings and forms. Creating modern yet vintage types.

-Tony Brook

"It's Nice That"
“In a way it’s a love letter to typography,” says Tony Brook, creative director at Spin of the studio’s new book Spin: Adventures in Typography. “We’ve always had a reverence for all aspects of type and wanted to make something that gave us the opportunity for experimentation in the form of playful expressions.”

To create such work the studio used a lot of creativity, research and trail and error.

Each one of the integrants goes by a name of a famous woman artists (Frida Kahlo, for instance).
The group has been around since 1985, where they first starting acting in NY. The activist work mostly with posters and banners.
They also believe that capitalism is a big interferance in the decisions of which works should appear and which shouldn't in the museus

"The Guerrilla Girls are feminist activist artists. Over 55 people have been members over the years, some for weeks, some for decades. Our anonymity keeps the focus on the issues, and away from who we might be. We wear gorilla masks in public and use facts, humor and outrageous visuals to expose gender and ethnic bias as well as corruption in politics, art, film, and pop culture. We undermine the idea of a mainstream narrative by revealing the understory, the subtext, the overlooked, and the downright unfair. We believe in an intersectional feminism that fights discrimination and supports human rights for all people and all genders. We have done over 100 street projects, posters and stickers all over the world, including New York, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Mexico City, Istanbul, London, Bilbao, Rotterdam, and Shanghai, to name just a few. We also do projects and exhibitions at museums, attacking them for their bad behavior and discriminatory practices right on their own walls, including our 2015 stealth projection about income inequality and the super rich hijacking art on the façade of the Whitney Museum in New York. Our retrospectives in Bilbao and Madrid, Guerrilla Girls 1985-2015, and our US traveling exhibition, Guerrilla Girls: Not Ready To Make Nice, have attracted thousands. We could be anyone. We are everywhere. What’s next? More creative complaining!! New projects in London, Paris, Cologne, and more!."

Com a imigração, famílias judaicas chegaram ao território brasileiro e junto com elas uma parcela de jovens mulheres iludidas por aliciadores, que prometiam um vida melhor no Brasil. Entretanto a realidade não era bem essa e elas acabavam trabalhando como prostitutas.

Conhecidas popularmente como polacas, essas jovens mulheres desembarcaram no Brasil e seguiram rumo ao centro de São Paulo, principalmente na região do Bom Retiro, outras ficaram na região de Santos. Tantas outras desembarcavam no Rio de Janeiro, até então capital do Brasil, e as mulheres mais novas, tinham um destino certo: a cidade de Buenos Aires, capital da Argentina e sede da organização Zwi Migdal*.

*Zwi Migdal – Sociedade que atuou entre os anos de 1860 e 1939 no Leste Europeu traficando mulheres e levando-as para a América do Sul para trabalharem como prostitutas. Sua sede era em Buenos Aires possuindo filiais e administrando prostíbulos em diversas cidades brasileiras incluindo Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo.

Its principal aim was to pressure the city's museums – notably the Museum of Modern Art – into implementing economic and political reforms.[1] These included a more open and less exclusive exhibition policy concerning the artists they exhibited and promoted: the absence of women artists and artists of color was a principal issue of contention, which led to the formation of Women Artists in Revolution (WAR) in 1969
It talks a lot with Guerrila Girls

Stezaker’s famous Mask series fuses the profiles of glamorous sitters with caves, hamlets, or waterfalls, making for images of eerie beauty.
From the mask series
I enjoyed this series mostly beacuse of the effect that it gives for the photos; annonymaty, secrecy, and even emptyness. By altering a small part of someone's face you can create o whole different meaning to the photograph.

Camera-less photographs show what has never really existed. They are also always ‘an original’ because they are not made from a negative

Illustration:
  •  An Illustration does not need to be only on paper
  • Just like sometimes it doesn't even have to do with drawing at all
  • It is of upmost importance that the drawing/content works with the context given
  • Animation and Illustration work side-by-side.

Graphic Design:
  •  Graphic Design it's always cheanging, so it can't be static, or else it will loose it's worth.
  •  Graphic Design and midia cannot be separated
  • It also is about communication and conversing with th public.
  • Image is a way to atract a person towards an idea (protest work that way)
  • Sometimes an image has the only use of amusement.

He carefully does his painting, then he puts a blob of waves into the faces of his portraits. The ultimate level of detail enters in conflict with the blob, but then he begins his own paradox; for each blob is carefully painted, just like the rest of the person.
