Disecting the Brief

My two designers I am doing for my information graphic 
- David Carson
- Adrian Frutiger

a. Timeline
    - direction
    - type of line
    - could it be a shape?

b. Two typographers
    - consider their context
    - place
    - time and culture
    - political and social events
    - influences
    - theory or ideology/manifesto*

*manifesto - less is more? - no ornament/decoration --> not emotional --> reductionism

c. Two examples - Otto Neurath developed the first info-graphics --> an international facinated from boyhood by Egyptian --> especially because they depicted day to day images unlike Greek and Roman varzus of antiquity.

Hieroglyphs - he was always interested in visual innovation and the difference between visual information and art.
His work had a purpose.
