After reading the three short texts, it is clear that in the past, artists were always trying to experiment with different techniques and to come up with new design ideas. This, in fact, is something that has not changed over the years. Designers are constantly looking for ways to innovate and improve the way we communicate ideas.

In Walter Gropius; The Theory and Organization of the Bauhaus, we can appreciate  how design was taught. First of all “the academy” believed that talent was very important when it comes to study design “a work of art depends on the talent of the individual who creates it. This quality can not be taught and cannot be learned.” I kind of agree with this statement because sometimes you can see how smart an knowledgeable a person is, they can learn in school; however, talent is something natural that cannot be taught. 

Gropius also talks about language, one of the things he said about it is that for us to speak a language, we have to know both vocabulary and grammar. It also applies to design because we, designers have not only to know theory, but how to apply it. 

Herbert Bayer; On Typography talks about the evolution of typography and its usage in design. With the development of science and technology, artists and designers have been exposed to adapt themselves to change. He introduces us to the idea of square span, this, at the time was a new way to display sentences by grouping words, changing the colors, and so on. Basically, breaking the rules. In the section New Slaves, Bayer talks about the  evolution of communication. He is right on everything he says because that is what happened since the invention of science and technology. Computers have substituted books, I was reading these texts on my iPad and it’s here where I’m typing this assignment. “This suggests that we will write and read less and less”, he says, and he is absolutely right with that. 

Typofoto, by LászlĂł Moholy-Nagy talks about the integration of type and typography and the machine as one of the best allies to the future. His ideas of how technology would innovate and change the way we communicate were right “tomorrow we shall be able to look into the heart of our fellow man, be everywhere and yet be alone”, he was right. We are living in a world where technology is ruling our everyday lives, we do not need to travel to visit our loved ones, but nowadays, the increase  of anxiety and depression is higher.Â
