I Heart Constructivism (Part 1)

I am gearing up for the graphic design portfolio I will be presenting in February.  This preparation includes but is not limited to having actual pieces to show and having knowledge of graphic design and graphic designers. But apart from that my face is always in my art books/creative dealings because art/creative work is what I love. 

So like I was saying I'm doing research, specifically I was looking at poster design examples in my copy of Megg's History of Graphic Design (precisely why I don't give away, sell, or destroy my textbooks. I also love books, and I'm always going back into them). Today's browsing ended up becoming specifically focused on constructivism and the work of Piet Zwart. I love that constructivism can be so engaging but yet simple for the most part -simple shapes, few colors used, simple photography etc...

Some more work by Piet Zwart Here (that's also where I got most of the pictures here)
