Reading through Meggs' History of Graphic Design, I found out the book was basically a catalogue of things that happened in that general frame of time (plague times, Gutenberg printing press story, etc.) It gave a basic history of books that have been made in that time and new discoveries people were making along with the popularization of literacy.

I thought that it was kind of dry, but it would've been more interesting had the content been something I was actually interested in or a time where graphic design actually was more relevant to today or how it more effectively influenced what we do today. Not that type existing in the first place didn't, but.. that's kind of a given.

I want to know what kind of posters existed back then or if there were a lot of posters being made. I want to know what they looked like and what they would've advertised. Was it anything else besides the Church needing money? Were there plague bake sales? Advertising of that time is the kind of stuff that I want to know. I hope this wasn't too boring to read....
