Keral then discusses secularisation as a means of creating a sense of nationhood, suggesting that Ataturk 's principles are most clear in his ‘homeland ideology’. Keral uses quotes from Ataturk’s speeches as evidence for this idea, the crux of which is that ‘Old Turkey [is] like a dungeon and it ought to be a paradise’, loved by all Turkish. This aligns with ideas of Shinto secular, in that the aim was to create a sense of nationhood and to unify Japan, facilitated through the nation-state, in…

While both companies were invented in the late eighteen hundreds by pharmacists, and strove to promote the idea of sociability and happiness, the two…

“Chino?” I say, “Should be interesting.” “John Holly’s Asian Bistro” is scrawled across the awning in stylized san serif. “We have to get the seared scallops with guacamole,” she feverishly insists. “You know better than I,” I shrug as we’re led to our seat. We finished eating then exited the restaurant for her mother's house, where Kristen would pick up her essential items for her weekend away with me. Every movement felt wrong to me. She parked inside a housing complex: condominiums,…

At first glance, it seems deceptively incongruous to assume any explicit degree of corresponding resemblance between the three given forms of narrative media, but upon closer examination, a number of similarities and understated analogies emerge, despite the stark contrast in the overall tone, setting and characters. By comparing these works on the basis of their shared deployment of identifiable narrative techniques, disregarding criticisms based on character development, plot and authorial…

Dr. Who’s title sequence promises and successfully delivers an action packed science fiction TV series based on one man, with his time traveling spaceship, exploring the vast expanse of space and time.

style of type we now call Old Style and our more modern style of type. One of the most obvious differences is the weight contrast of the thin and thick strokes and the wideness of the type, which in Old Style is actually quite thick and blocky. His serifs are also quite different as they are more elegantly treated then they were before. He also used much wider margins then were allowed at the time. His type is simply considered beautiful and light as there is a balance to their design. One of…

Lance Wyman has been a key artist….

That system is known today as wayfinding. People from all languages needed help to get around places, especially in metro systems and airports where wayfinding was essential to get from one place to another easy and effectively. Wayfinding refers to information systems that guide people…

students devoted themselves to theory and practise around the Swiss Style (Design is history n.d.). They focused on simple work applied into ‘new techniques of photo-typesetting, photo-montage and experimental composition and heavily favoured sans-serif typography’ in unconditional and general style of graphic design (Design is history n.d., para 1). The majority of Hofmann’s posters are for culture events with a variety of style. His early design, which was mostly based on silhouetted and big…
