Dada
Dada was born out of negative reaction to the horrors of World War I. This international movement was begun by a group of artist and poets associated with the Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich. Dada rejected reason and logic, prizing nonsense, irrationality and intuition.
this idea that art and music can be a form of protest world wide is something that really interests me. And i really believe that it effects the tone of art, for example their is lots of big bold red text repeating the word DADA, it really stands out from the rest of the mundane black and white foreground.

This is some of the other Dada movement (inspired?), all following the same technique of having the very bold red text in the back ground and the black text overlaying it, to a point,

Jamie Reid
Reid is known primarily for the deployment of Situationist strategies in his iconic work for the Sex Pistols and Suburban Press.
Jammie Reid is very much a punk and you can tell from his work, its very messy or chaotic. I think he takes a lot of inspiration from dadaism because most of his work is protesting something, I particularly like his use of fonts, it looks like he's stripped a newspaper for its words and re arranged them so that they say his own message.
Neville Brody
during my research into Jammie Reid I discovered someone who took some inspiration from Reid. Neville Brody is an artist who shot into popularity around the 90's with his unique type face typography style of art I will make a more in-depth post about him because he so far is my favourite
