Great video! Thanks for sharing

It would have been nice if you stuck to a timeline instead of jumping back and forth in dates. Also I would have liked if you explained The New Typography movement which wasn't very apparent in this video! Like important people who were involved like Eric Gill, Stanley Morison, or Paul Renner!

Hi, I love this video and I have some questions: - In graphic design, do European Avant Grade is Early modern movement? Because I saw some sources tell this with a different name or this European Avant Grade just includes Dada and Futurism. - Does European Avant Grade includes Plakatstil, Bauhaus, Surrealismor anything else? I'm not just talking about the typeface. -Do u know any correct and reputable source writing about this? Thank u so much : )

Hey, thanks for watching!

[@boglarkahaszon9115]

and the other Hungarian artist's name is written like Moholy-Nagy László, not Moholoy..but it is still a great video :)

[@NamdevHardisty1]

An intentional slight on the god Moholy!

Bortnyik Sándor was Hungarian :(

what is avante garde modernism ?

[@NamdevHardisty1]

If Modernism is creating a holistic aesthetic philosophy that is “of the moment”, then avant garde modernism is a *radical* philosophy of the moment.

The only right way to pronounce 'De Stijl' is like 'De Style'. Not 'De Steal'.

[@NamdevHardisty1]

Noted.

i hate how often times, you're just speculating how the design came into being. if you're making a video on this, why don't you look this stuff up and spread profound information rather than just share your thoughts on the designs? anyone can make assumptions looking at a design. (same accounts for the numerous spelling and pronounciation mistakes.) unfortunately, i did not find this video informative at all, however, i like that you took the time to compile all these examples of modern design.

[@NamdevHardisty1]

I get what you're saying but there's a couple problems with it. I CAN’T look this stuff up. It's just a bunch of posters. Barely anyone cared at the time and barely anyone cares now. I’ve read extensively what little there is that documents it and even that is mostly speculation on the nature of it. Ultimately what I can do is apply what I know about doing graphic design from my own career and look at the context the work was made in (which is no different from any other art history book for that matter). Aside from pronunciations - where do you think I'm wrong? I think it’s fairly obvious that most of what I'm stating is an opinion of what’s happening visually in the work but even with that said where do you think I'm making stuff up?

This is a ridiculous comment. The video is so informative dude what's your problem
