My research paper is about German Swiss designer Wolfgang Weingart and his piece “Didacta Eurodidac” made in 1980. I compare this specific piece of work to other designers that we have talked about in class like Herbert Bayer and Walter Gropius, as there were many similarities between these men and their work. I also talk about the connections between Weingart and the Bauhaus, the road to creating “Didacta Eurodidac”, and how revolutionary it was.

Excellent research. I added a note on your paper: “certain graphic modifications of type can in fact intensify the meaning” —can you respond, directly or indirectly, to the theories related to linguistics or semiology, avant-garde art movements, or the psychological perception of forms (ie. any of the ideas that we’ve covered).
The assignment is to respond to ideas we’ve covered. This is a good place to elaborate on that.
