Chapter 9

1. Sum up the reading in your own words in 1 paragraph.
Chapter 9 focuses on the impact that the industrial revolution had on graphic design. Urbanization began to grow rapidly in both U.S and European societies. People started moving from agricultural farms for the opportunities that the cities held. Thus a demand for mass production of products and technologies in factories was created. Friedrich Koenig invented the steam-powered printing press and typographic design keeps transitioning more and more from religion towards advertisement. People like Joseph Niepec began what was known as phototypography (photography pretty much) with the invention of early cameras.

2. Name the one thing (or person) you found most interesting from the reading.

Fat Face type was interesting to me. Well, not so much interesting as it was funny...haha

3. State at least one question you have after the reading.

These early cameras seemed pretty weird but lenient in their use. Was there a specific standard method for using them? Like, was there an instruction manual to those things or something?
