Route 2 Literary Journal

January – May 2023 – Walter Gropius pushed for the unity of art and technology by creating new ideas about form, color, space, and methods that soon were integrated into design education. Typography was seen as both a means of communication and an artistic expression. Gropius’ ideas and many other artists of the Bauhaus movement inspired the design of this journal. To create unexpected compositions simple forms were manipulated by rotating, repeating, and overlapping. Typography carries your eyes around the page with section dividers that slow you down and ask you to question what you see. A basic color palette reflects my ideas of the Bauhaus aesthetic.

Every story and poem in this journal were thoughtfully written and submitted by a variety of students. Each having their own memories and emotions connected to the literature.
