Kurt Schwitters - Merz
Artist turned typographer, Schwitters is best known from a graphic design aspect for his work on the publication Merz, a magazine that talked about advertising, new typography, poetry, culture and art. You can see how he has used a grid system in producing this and what I like is the coherent design between the different issues. Again I see similarities between the work of Schwitters and Lissitsky, perhaps this is a reflection upon the period and how many artist were becoming part of the Avant Garde movement (many different movement happened during this period so as a whole is known as this) - becoming contemporary in their design. To produce good design it is becoming apparent that a grid system needs to be in place before one can break it up, and has been something graphic designers have always considered essential in their work. Guess you could call it working methodically?
