Modern Typography and the Creation of the Public Sphere
Print became a space for debate - the new Roman forum
Newspapers were sensationalizing violence during this period
Wide spread scientific information was beginning to banish superstitious beliefs
First "true murder" zines widely spread, gory details
Industry newsletters were the first forms of newspapers among bankers, traders, etc.
Coffee and newspapers were the big time wasters of the era
News bound the colonists together via perceived common experience
John Adams - Te revolution started in the hearts and minds of ppl long before the fighting via newspapers
Printers created a brand of independence via graphic design
Revolutionary papers began
Freedom of the press becomes an ideal
All factions tried to suppress their enemies' pov
England seems to be behind the curve on printing technology
Informational charts appear
Business cards appear
royal fonts used without permission = imprisonment
England finally got its own font, Baskerville
Bodoni, famous Italian graphic designer, mentee of Baskerville
Engravers copyright act passed in England
