Principles that stand the test of time and technology

- Typography – The need to understand good typographic choices, what’s appropriate for a particular task has always been a standard from the Illuminated scripts to letting you know if your flight is on time.
- Colour – Bauhaus teaching of colour theory by Kandinsky, Klee, and Albers still very valid today.
- Branding and Icon Design – Otto Neurath and Gerd Arntz Isotype became the standard to icon creation. The creation of easily read icons is more important now that it has ever been.
