For my essay I am going to write about Typography in design. The reason I have chosen this subject is because it it something that interests me and is used in design all of the time. I particularly want to focus on the developments that have been made technologically and the impact that that has had on the styles / amount of type that is used in design within particular times throughout history. In order to get a better understanding and sense of the topics I will write about I have found some potential resources that I might use to help me write my essay. Below are some of the resources that I have found.
I also came across a few documentaries that could be quite interesting to look at. The first one I found is called '83M80 - Letterpress In The Digital Era' by Gonzalo Hergueta and MRKA. It talks about movable type and showcases a historical timeline of the type and the technologies that influence visual communication.
The second one I found is one that I have already watched for a previous project I worked on, however I feel it is relevant t this essay so I will revisit it. It is 'Helvetica' directed by Gary Hustwit. It explores the history of this font and why it is universally appealing. It also touches on how type can affect culture. Although it only focuses on one specific typeface I feel this documentary can give me some insight into the way that type is developed and the reasons certain types are used more than others. Although there are a lot more resources that I will use when writing my essay I feel that these are the ones that will inform me the most as they are the most relevant to my topic. For example I found an article outlining some of the best books about type.
