http://visualcommunicationhistory.blogspot.com/2011/01/neville-brody.html

A really good collection of Neville Brody's output put together by Peter Gabor can be found here:. Http:/ www.typogabor.com/neville-brody/. I am really happy to have found this, since decent sized online reproductions of Brody's work are not too easy to come across. In fact, I had a very hard time back when I was putting together the course website. So, this is really great! I am only linking one out of a huge collection of very well selected images - definitely check out the rest! Poemas del rio Wang.

Steampunk Typography ~ visual communication history blog

http://visualcommunicationhistory.blogspot.com/2011/02/glorious-steampunk.html

One problem when writing a post on Steampunk is how to label it correctly: Does one use the label "19th Century" or "21st Century" or both?
