The History of Print

In our COP lecture we went over how print has changed over the years. Print can be dated back to prehistoric times, since cavemen used to make negative space prints of their hands. Print is used in a multitude of ways, from making books and writing to making woodblock print paintings like Albrecht Durer and the Japanese style woodblock prints. It is used mostly in the form of mass communication. Graphic Designers in the 1900s used Woodblock type to form typographical paintings. It is an interesting art form, and I cant help but think that somewhere it has been used in animation.
