My submission is a typographic homage to the first cover of the literary magazine BLAST. The simple cut geometry and sharp colours were my favourite features of Vorticism. In my opinion Vorticism is the ultimate shiny machine age style – sadly short lived because of WW1. I very much liked its optimism about the industrial world and speed. Dystopian film Metropolis sums up the paradox of industrialism in a way that the Vorticists would soon discover: “Mittler zwischen Hirn und Händen muss das Herz sein.”
