This is an image of the alphabets. It shows the earliest alphabets to today's modern day one. I think this is kind of cool to see the modern day alphabet up against the old ones. There isn't every single alphabet letter in the image, but there is a good amount of them.
The function of the picture is to compare the alphabets. And I feel like it does a good job comparing the alphabets from way back when to basically today.
I found this image when I was just searching the web for an image for this week. I actually googled the first alphabet to today and this is one of the images I found.
There really is no typography besides the alphabet letters I guess.
The quality of this artwork is really cool. There is a piece of clay or what not that has some letters etched into it and it looks like under it they are writing out what it says or at least what letters are in it.
What attracted me to this piece is that it was different from the others. It had really old letters to more modern day letters. I also liked how there was a piece of clay that had letters or symbols etched into it.
This relates to class because we spent a whole chapter or two reading about alphabets and the many different kinds there were or are. We talked about Latin, Greek, Korean, the 1st alphabet and so on. I thought this image would fit perfectly.
This picture clearly shoes the how much the alphabet has evolved from the beggining of time when it was markings until now when the letters have geometric and flowing status to them. This is a very good find.
ReplyDeleteI like that you found an image that puts the alphabet today next to older forms, as well as how it was used. This definitely relates to everything we have discussed so far and gives a better understanding.
