    Typists And Typewriters

    1. How did American corporations change in the last decades of the nineteenth century? Why did these changes entail the introduction of more and more typists and typewriters? At the end of the 19th century US corporations underwent rapid growth and consolidation with the rise of modern industrial capitalism. Business operations became more complex, which required an increase in correspondence, record keeping, and office work within and between firms and, thus more clerical workers. This growth encouraged the introduction of typewriters and typists, because they allowed for a more efficient office, because it enabled faster writing, during a time in which office took on more and greater tasks.…

    Social Responsibility Of Graphic Designer Essay

    In Victor Margolin’s article “Rebellion, Reform, and Revolution: American Graphic Design for Social Change,” he does well in presenting Graphic Designers and their contributions to political and social change throughout history. Graphic Designers have a moral and ethical responsibility to the public. Mainstream media offers a plethora of inspiration and information for visual artists and designers alike. In recent years, the media’s journalistic integrity, or lack thereof, has been easily influenced by political agendas and bias. It is imperative for Graphic Designers to conduct as much research as possible before creating any social or political solution. The psychological and social impact of Graphic Design requires designers to have both morals and ethics. There are many tools a designer has to use at their exposal, such as: political public opinion, psychology, and media influence.…

    History of Typography

    Typography (from the Greek words (typos) = form and (graphe) = writing) is the art and technique of arranging type in order to make language visible. The arrangement of type involves the selection of typefaces, point size, line length, leading (line spacing), adjusting the spaces between groups of letters (tracking) and adjusting the space between pairs of letters (kerning). Type design is a closely related craft, which some consider distinct and others a part of typography; most typographers do not design typefaces, and some type designers do not consider themselves typographers. In modern times, typography has been put into motion—in film, television and online broadcasts—to add emotion to mass communication.…
