The reading of  “Who we are” felt like a declaration of a new era because the style of literate expression being used is impactful. The constructivism is purposefully prominent, the writer is making a statement and it is that they are a new generation of artists who are taking it to the  next level with technology. The writer’s example of everything being made of lines and grids was interesting because as they said, no one notices them until they are announced. The layout of this manifesto was interesting because there were lots of widows and widows are typically avoided in the design world but since the writers are constructivists it makes sense to have it look a bit out of the ordinary. 

“The Futurist” manifesto was very fun to read because not a single word was predictable and everything was challenging my visual imagery. I think Marinetti was very out with the old and in with the new, the futurism he described incorporates violence, youth, and novelty. This might have been a problem if it came out in the present time because it vouches for violence and that’s definitely something that is not as common as it used to be back then. I think Marinetti definitely speaks to the darker side of art and is passionate about the hardships of life. 

On the other hand,  Lissitzky believes that new is actually just old but with a few alterations with technology. Reminds us of the origins of printing and how the process before it all is part of graphic design. He Looks forward to futurism but takes it with a grain of salt because does not believe that there can exist a better version of any piece of art.. I think that Marinetti and Rodchenko might get along because they are both very attracted to the new and unordinary. I also think that Rodchenko and Lissitzky shared common views on the world of graphic design and constructivism.
