Type during the Industrial Revolution

Peter Behrens was first person to use sanserif in text. First iron printing-press made by Earl Stanhope, in 1800. 1814 Frederich Koenig, first double cylinder steam powered press. 19th century ads were lame. Ottmar Mergenthaller perfected his linotype machine in 1886.

The letter-press is just like stamps I used to have as a kid. There was usually an illustration of some kind, I'd press it in the ink and then onto the paper. A sort is a piece of type.

The Linotype machine is pretty cool. I love the sound effects it makes.

Lots of notes

Ahh...learning. Should be interesting.

In the mid-15th century Gutenberg and Fust went into business together and then Fust screwed Gutenberg over like humans do when they're greedy. As designers we need to learn to communicate before creating art. We also need to be decisive and find the balance between concrete and abstract art.

I found the development of printing interesting.

No questions at the moment but I'll be sure to let you know if I do.

Yoeth! I am Erica...eth.

I absolutely love chocolate covered strawberries and sleeping. Well, not at the same time. Duh.
