question research

Out of the previous questions i have chosen to research into 'how did modernism influence the design of today?'   

below are websites with a select few quotes from the website that i found interesting as well as a few books that i looked at:



Almost anything that you see in the world that you consider to have that classically modern look – whether architecture, graphic design, fashion; even websites, apps and digital media – almost certainly had its roots in these small art schools in Dessau and Berlin

The Bauhaus sought to combine art, craft, and technology to reach a common goal and a common vision of a purer form of design without unnecessary decoration

It was a collection of ideas, mainly from the Russian and Swiss schools of the time.

Their work helped put down the foundations for the modern grid system and create rhythm throughout design, a rhythm that’s still being tapped out on designers’ desks the world over.

Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee went on to be regarded as two of the most important artists of the 20th Century, and their draftwork laid the foundation for much of modern Graphic Design theory



Many modern designers insisted that they followed no "style." And indeed modernism was more than a style, it was a new worldview, conditioned by new perceptions of time and space.

these are the hallmarks of modern design: an interest in exploring new materials, a rejection of historical precedents, and a simplification of forms by a reduction of ornament.

Our word modern comes from the Latin modernus, which meant "just now
