Where did Helvetica come from?

Helvetica is a typeface that was originally created by Max Miedinger at the Haas Type Foundry in 1957. The typeface was meant to be a competitor for Akzidenz-Grotesk, another sans-serif typeface that was popular at the time. Helvetica's original name was "Neue Haas Grotesk," but was changed, after a rise in popularity, in 1960 in an effort to make it more internationally appealing. Helvetica is one of the most widely used sans-serif typefaces in the world, born when clarity of communication was becoming more important than unnecessary ornamental decoration. It's forms are characterized by a balance of positive and negative space and exemplify the ideals of the time in which it was created by being clear and easy to read at almost all weights and sizes.

It wasnt really invented per se....basically whoever it is that wants to express themselves. Phetus, who is an all time favorite of mine and is the mastermind of elitegudz.com, has been on the scene for over 20 years. His graffiti is in true art form

Added: Considering that paintings on the walls of caves have been dated back to prehistoric times I think it's safe to say that it has been around ever since mankind began to walk upright.

Why do people use pictures in writing?

To more clearly depict the story for those who do not have an adequate imagination. This is more commonly seen in children's books and in some old novels. Authors do not use pictures that much in adult books, however, biographies have pictures to accompany them to help tell the reader about someone's life.

Pictures in novels nowadays are being replaced by movie versions of the stories. This means that more people are simply watching the movie before they read the book, so writers are not bothering to include pictures within their novels as the reader will be referring to the movie's point of view.

Why was writing important to mesopotamia?

In oral cultures, the information and the history of any event were subject to change, depending on who was telling the story; thus, the personality or popularity of the story-teller could affect how the events were understood. When writing came along, it provided one official way to tell a story, with an agreed-upon set of facts; whether in a scripture or a legal document, the event was preserved and available to be studied at any time.

Writing also provided something that could be passed on to the next generation in a form that was stable, making it possible for future generations to know exactly what their ancestors thought. In cultures like Mesopotamia, writing helped to bind the culture together in one shared way of telling the story. People who had mastered literacy could read it for themselves, or for those who could not, it could be read to them by public readers.

Why is a written language such an important part of a civilization?

Well the Greeks wrote about fables, myths, and legends. All included some of the Greek gods. When written history came from Thucydides he knew that he was going to write without gods. He separated fact from legend.
Written history is very important to know how we got to where we are now. The traditions of oral history have well served societies but there are so many diverse people on earth and so many centuries of history to pass on that in must be written so that as many people as possible have access to it.

The importance lies in the fact that if you don't know history, you will always be guessing how to deal with situations that are occurring now if you don't know what the outcome may be when it was dealt with in the past. Unfortunately, too many world leaders don't seem to be aware of this. There are well known sayings that tell it more simply; "What is past is prologue" and "Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it" (please don't tell me it's a misquote, I know it is but it's my preferred misquote).

Written History is so important because it lets the reader know what really happened or at least the "Victor" thought what happened. History is written by the victor". for example if the Nazis won WWII then 50 years he would be known as "The Great Leader", 100 years he would be known to as like a God, in 1000 years he would be known as "A god with great leading abilities who defended monsters and demons from his homeland". Obviously that is very different then what really happened and what we know today.

Oral history can have many misconceptions the story would get greater and greater like i mentioned before and so it is unclear of what really happened

: Plagiarism can be more than simply an 'academic crime.' If the publication that was plagiarized was copyrighted it is also a violation of Civil Law. ___ Leaving the legal aspects aside, the key point for work handed in at schools and colleges is that it is supposed to be original: it is supposed to be your own work, done by you.
