The first image from this second reading that I want to discuss comes from the chapter on Futurism and Italy. The image caught my attention because it did a good job of combining text with a 3D environment, creating a piece that can be looked at and interpreted from pretty much any angle that you look at it. The context with it too is so interesting as it is made as a crypt/burial chamber and it has such a unique and artistic design with the names of those within and how that incorporates into the setting around it.

The next image I wanted to talk about was from the chapter on Germany and the reason it stuck out to me so much was for it's use of human representation to show a relationship with typography. Something interesting to me about the work is that the person who published it, Karel Teige, became as a painter and eventually developed into a photographer and typographer and all that practice shows through his choice in publishing the magazine with all these images. I couldn't actually find the same image from the text online to reference but this image shows the same idea of using the human form to show a relationship with text.

The last image from the text that I want to talk about is from the chapter on the Netherlands. I chose to include this one because it comes from a style magazine that consists entirely of black & white & grays in the form of rectangles in order to create text and imagery and I find that to be an interesting way of designing something. It makes good use of negative space along with forms to create both text and pictures for its audience and I find that sort of fascinating.
