Headlines from the past  and future

     One of the most important aspects of graphic design history is the study of how text changed over time. Text has changed significantly from the early pictograph to our computers. The most important aspect of text is how it captures the human eye. This entry is going to look at newspaper headlines-how it changed from the very first newspaper to the modern newspaper. The first newspapers had only text. The important words or phases are bold and presented in a larger front size. In 1621 A.D, the first English newspaper formed. The above picture is from the August 1668 issue of the London Gazette.
     

     This news paper spread the news of the week to the people of the UK. I chose this picture due to the fact that the London Gazette is still around today. It is interesting to see how much the paper changed over the centuries. The type pattern within the London Gazette is still around today. Down below is a screenshot of the Rolling Stones magazine. The main title of Article is bold with a high front size. The second part of the title is smaller enabling the reader a clear view of what the story would be about. An important quote is in the middle of the story surrounding by text.
