When researching Bauahuas styled design I found this magazine layout which incorporates a bit of Bauahaus style. The black and white images, font choice and colour scheme adds a vague modernist theme to the layout. This is a very subtle use of the style. I plan to make my own page layout far more Bauhaus styled by looking at the work of some Bahaus Modernist designers and creating work similar to theirs.
He has also produces work with black and white photography with the recurring colours (black and red). The
Schmidts poster, done when he was still a student, shows the influence of the new master, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy. There is a tinge of Dutch De Stijl in the integration of lettering with bold abstract shapes, while influence of Constructionism is seen in the poster;s use of blacks and reds to create a diagonal composition which produces an effect of dyadic movement. The circular annd semicircular forms suggest the wheel of industry, but with a passing echo of elegant curves of Art Deco. The Extended serifs in the lettering add to the elegance but also aid in giving a strong impression of movement.
When searching for designs that have incorporated the Bauhaus style it is clear that the recurring themes are: bold colours, slanted composition, black, red and beige. I plan to incorporate these into my own book, sticking to a particular style.
