The Bauhaus was based on the principles of the 19th-century English designer William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement that art should meet the needs of society and that no distinction should be made between fine arts and practical crafts ..... graphic design in a multicultural world www.highgrounddesign.com/mccoy/km5.htm ..... Our modern design professions were born of the industrial revolution. Modernism, especially at the Bauhaus, was a response to the economies of scale and standardization in the new mass societies. This functionalist design philosophy of "form follows function" is based on the standardized processes, modular systems, industrial materials, and a machine aesthetic of minimalist form. Universal design solutions were sought to solve universal needs across cultures. Reducing design elements down to their basic forms - geometric shapes and primary colors, for instance - was seen as a method to make one design solution appropriate for all users ..... But now two new forces are breaking up the mass society and the mass production economy ..... |

It exemplifies the Bauhaus style of the early 1920s in the clear and strict use of geometric abstraction enlivened by asymmetry and open space. www.travelbrochuregraphics.com/Top_Level_Pages/Germany/Germany_Main.htm Germany was among the leading countries in generating and propagating the new design esthetic of the 1920s and 1930s. Germany was the home of the Bauhaus and this had a tremendous influence on travel-related advertising during our period. www.pointlessart.com/tschichold/factsAndLinks.html Due to the Bauhaus in Dessau the style of advanced graphic design changed radically between 1928 and 1930. Artists condemned the ornament and the purely decorative style which had dominated the poster throughout the Art nouveau to the Art Deco of the early twenties. |
| The Bauhaus emerged just as radical social and political upheavals swept through Europe in the wake of World War I, a product of the convulsions of an age when the contest between ideologies was fought with the fervour of a religious war. The Bauhaus became a centre where the ideas that would dominate art in the twentieth century clashed and became defined. The ideas forged within the school literally transformed our landscape. Almost nothing we read, wear, or live in is devoid of its influence. Industrial and graphic designers share an indebtedness to the Bauhaus for its thinking on materials use, typography, page structure, and the rational form follows function dictum. Although the Bauhaus was to only last in Germany for some 14years, and undergo many changes during that time, its influence was continued and experienced through the immigration of many of its teachers and students throughout the world -especially in the United States. |

Next, select a manufactured object, a business, an institution, a service, or a timely concept that needs visual communication, styling, or redesign. In the "style" of another time or by revising or using the approach of another well known designer, define your project problem and solve it with a web site, a poster, an architectural rendering, a model, a corporate ID program, a small appliance design, a cabinet redesign, etc. Examples - A retro designed poster campaign promoting Cincinnati's National Underground Railroad Freedom Center - A web site promoting design for adult daycare - Bauhaus "style" bus billboard to promote the Athens 2004 Olympics |
Throughout the history of design and art, two events stand out as highly influential to the graphic design and publications graphics fields. These are the DeStijl art movement and the Bauhaus Design School. |
| Piet Zwart (1885-1977): Dutch typographer, photographer, and industrial designer is famous for rejecting traditional typographic conventions and applying instead the formal principles of constructivism and De Stijl to Dutch commercial design. Zwart experimented exuberantly with bold sans-serif lettering, repetitive word patterns, strong diagonals, and photomontage. His intuitive and elegant manipulation of typographic elements, combined with a preference for the De Stijl primary colors, provided a contrast to the more formal, dogmatic approach of other contemporary exponents of the new typography.
