You may want to view the post below (March 10, 2008) which shows images in the Yavuz article a bit more clearly

From then to now

It's amazing to see where the history of Graphic Design has led us. Seeing the use of technology now compared to where it was in the early 20th century, and how it has effected design in the forms on how it is produced is breath taking. What I find most interesting is the fact that the same design elements that were used in the 20th century are still at play though. See if you can see the similarities: http://wegraphics.net/blog/inspiration/30-examples-of-how-to-bring-typography-to-the-next-level/

Eric Gill said what?

Art which is not propaganda is simply aesthetics and is consequently entirely the affair of cultured connoisseurs. It is a studio affair, nothing to do with the common life of men and women, a means of ‘escape.’ Art in the studio becomes simply ‘self-expression,’ and that becomes simply self-worship. Charity, the love of God and your neighbour, which, here below, every work of man must exhibit, is lost. If you say art is nothing to do with propaganda, you are saying that it has nothing to do with religion – that it is simply a psychological dope, a sort of cultured drug traffic. I, at any rate, have no use for it. For me, all art is propaganda; and it is high time that modern art became propaganda for social justice instead of propaganda for the flatulent and decadent ideals of bourgeois Capitalism. (excerpt from a letter to The Catholic Herald, 28 October 1934)
