Futurism

Following on from cubism is futurism, which is similarly distorting, but aims to reproduce speed and movement where cubism is concerned with static shapes. Futurism was developed in Italy in 1909- late 1920s. Futurism looks at the form in and of movement. In futurism layout, onomatopoeic devices were often reproduced visually in typography and layout.

These futurist style book covers convey movement through the placement of text and the size of the typeface used. They make use of onomatopoeic devices to visually convey the meaning of the text.
