Jan Tschichold (Germany): Typographische Mitteilungen, 1925 -Dynamic force should be present in each design. -Type should be set in motion. -Asymmetrical layout. -Flush left headlines with ragged edge -Kinetic asymmetrical design of contrasting elements (expressed new machine age) -San-serif type (without any embellishments) in various weights -Designs based on underlying horizontal and vertical structure -Spatial intervals important elements - Rules bars and boxes were often used for structure, balance and emphasis -White space used as structuring element -Clarity and beauty -Form from the function of the text -Photography favored over illustration

International typographic style- 1950’s More important then the visual appearance of the work is the attitude developed by its early pioneers. Designers defined their role as objective conduits for spreading important information between components of society. Order and clarity were the ideal. Josef Muller-Brockmann 1914-1996
