Check out this new book on modern art movements and logo design



Please check out this article that examines modern art movements that inspired designers to create some great logos. The article from Smashing Magazine may surprise you as you will discover how historical forms, fonts, and colors can translate into contemporary design. The point of our design history class is to UNDERSTAND STYLE not memorize obscure dates and facts. When you begin to recognize style you will have a powerful palette of resources to apply to your own graphic work. This is jet fuel so please take a moment to get inspired. I look forward to getting this book.
