Font Test, Bauhaus

After watching a documentary on Bauhaus I attempted to create a font based on their principles and styles. The words are not determined or specific they are just what I had fun creating.

It should say 1 X U M J 4 G TZ 8 F if you cannot tell.

The Mysterious Birdman of Mound 72

Cahokia, a once bustling epicenter of civilization nestled across the river from what is now known as St. Louis, is often referred to as the archaeological counterpart of ancient Jerusalem, only manifested in a tapestry of earthen mounds rather than stone structures. An illustrious city and sacred hub of the ancient Native American civilization, Cahokia was an American beacon of light during the European 'Dark Ages'. While unknown to the "civilized world" the city functioned as a vibrant hub of exchange; its trade routes stretching across the expanse of the continent. Its influence was palpable, with artifacts, pottery shards and intricate jewelry traced back to Cahokia found from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The echoes of its cultural impact reverberate still today, among contemporary native tribes, with its mythology and legends deeply interwoven into their spiritual practices.

When Propaganda Fails

War has endured as an intrinsic aspect of human civilization, tracing its roots back to and past prehistoric eras, and it can be argued that war is visible in the struggles of the natural world, such as the battles waged among ant species or lion prides. However, despite the longevity of war, propaganda is a somewhat new addition. Propaganda exists to sway public opinion on conflict or policies, either by showing the glory of one’s own morals, or the evils enabled by the enemy's. It is an artform that can be used or abused and has proved to be very powerful. If history is written by the victor, then propaganda is the prelude to that inevitability. That being said, Propaganda is not always effective and can be detrimental in more ways than one. So, let’s try and understand propaganda, it’s purpose, effective use, and especially it’s failures. In the ancient world, propaganda was less motivated by war and more created to lend credence to the reign...
