Week 6

This emblem is by Oscar Schlemmer which is the seal of the Bauhaus school approved on the year 1922. I really like the simplicity of the logo because it is not too complicated and that sometimes simple is better. With the modern look that it has its really strange because at that time it has mostly been traditional were at that moment you see more abstract pieces which are breaking away from traditional. The emblem screams futuristic going through time before its time, that is amazing. Over all, it stands out than the first emblem of the school and it expresses freedom of moderism.

Week 5

This war poster is by Lucian Bernhard which was for a war-loan campaign in the year 1915. I really like this because of the medieval feel to it with the richness and boldness of the colors black and red. Especially the font used to help show the theme of the piece that ties it together. The drawn metal arm is powerful because of the direction of the fist and shows force to what the message is saying to the public. Even the parchment effect is dead on adding the age which in that time wasn't so but going back to the theme I have stated before. Over all the piece is terrific of how it is hand-drawn also being medieval.
