Graphic design started to get bigger and bigger as time went on. Design systems were made and there were now schools for designs where you can learn about the upcoming new things, one of them being the 35 mm Camera where you can take pictures in low light. Digital circuit were being build as the International style came into play where swiss design came to a high. As to the end of the class we watched on of my favorite movies Helvetica and thinking back on what you said about what happened in the time, i feel like Hevetica itself was a type of movement where people didn't want it but they needed it. This makes me question if there is anything like that today and what we will have to do to set another standard of graphic design and if not they have been set. Wonder if there will be a new type movement, like a new "serif" but not called that, wanting to be in the moment. Anyways great end of the class made my day.
