My favorite period of graphic design Bauhaus design has always influences me. Jan Tschichold and El Lissitzky are my heros in graphic communication. How they both changed graphic design in a way. Bauhaus, a school which made and impacted design forever made a movement. Which is still effects design today. As a child i never knew i loved graphic design, i just liked seeing bright diagonal typography. Knowing now where it came from, sparks a light in me to dig more into the history of Typography, Bauhaus, and modern design.
