Tony Di Spigna

Imported from Brooklyn: Tony Di Spigna Week 13

The video was interesting to see how typography affects the passion of artists. And I was surprised that there wasn’t an artist in his family. I very much liked Tony’s various logos and designs. I think his efforts are going to transcend the art age and tell stories of his past. Also, one thing I want to remember is the logo, which tells tales.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF TYPE and A FUN HISTORY OF TYPE

2 History of Type videos Week 3

In the brief history of type, I learned that the first movable versions of type were founded in china. Lettering has evolved greatly over time and it amazed me that typography even goes so far back. The industrial revolution created an age of newly wanted printed material. Typographic technology has greatly changed and advanced over the years. This video was very informative.

In A Fun History of Type, I learned that the tools used, help define different types of typography. The linotype system was created to make typing faster and more type was being produced. Typography grew even further through the invention of Macintosh and the use of mobile devices. People would now stay on their phones reading typography.
