This graphic designer (before the term had been coined) and printer created graphics and fonts that were at once bold and striking yet exceedingly simplistic and direct, providing hundreds of different varieties and endless combinations for use on posters and pamphlets advocating a wide range of figures and issues (Gravier & Brandt 2002). Intricate and fanciful graphic work was reserved for certain illustrations and became quite common as borders on many posters, calling interest and attention to as well as framing the still-simple text that delivered often pointed messages and announcements (Gravier & Brandt 2002).
Graphic Design Goes Online
In this regard, the graphic design elements of nineteenth century Mexico during the latter half of the century has much in common with graphic design elements found on many standard web pages seen today around the world. There are also significant differences in the needs and approaches of graphic design on the Internet when compared to those of nineteenth century Mexico, however. At the time and place that saw Jose Maria Gutierrez Estrada and Igancio Cumplido producing their pamphlets and posters, the simple existence of visual information inherently called attention to these artifacts and their message; in the modern world where individuals are constantly inundated with visual information, graphic design -- especially on the Internet -- must take competition for attention into account.
One of the most well-known and widely-read books on the subject of web design is Steve Krug's Don't Make Me Think (2005), in which the author focuses on usability and simplicity as the paramount necessities of websites and the graphical elements that guide users therein. The interactive nature of graphic design is something that is almost entirely unique to the Internet and other computer applications, and usability must be enhanced by graphic design. This has made the directness and simplicity of text that was found in Mexican pamphlets and posters of the nineteenth century an important element of twenty-first century websites (Krug 2005).
The competitive aspects of Internet information, however -- i.e. The need for specific websites and even specific portions...

Posters have always carried with them the ability to communicate in a unique way. With the right message, posters can inspire and motivate people to think about things in new ways and perhaps do things they might otherwise never do. Posters can reflect culture, as well as alter it. When combining art with other interests, posters can become powerful tools of communication. It wasn't until the late nineteenth century, with the
Feminism 19th and Early 20th Century America Writing and woman suffrage were inextricably intertwined in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Suffrage gave them a voice, and they used that voice to challenge the early American patriarchal status quo. By examining those works, new light can be brought to bear on suffrage activists, who at the time were thought to be an unimportant fringe group. Through a study of their
Technology and art have been married in a number of ways, showing how the two may complement one another: Mathematics provides a framework for artistic expression while art can awaken mathematical intuition, revealing aspects of mathematics that are otherwise hidden within abstract formulations (Cipra 748). The marriage of technology and art has engendered considerable interest in academic circles, and among the recent developments have been a meeting of more than one hundred
