ITAP Week 8 Production Of Visual Communication


The top 10 milestones in the history of production in my opinion are:
  • Sumerians use cuneiform alphabet on clay tablets– 3500bc
  • Paper invented in China by Ts’ai lun – AD 105
  • Johannes Gutenberg printed first book in Europe – 1445
  • Papermaking machine invented by Nicolas-Louis Robert – 1798
  • Negative/positive photography invented by Fox Talbot – 1839
  • First colour separation process invented – 1890
  • Adobe systems founded – 1982
  • CD- ROM invented, Parke Lightbown builds a computer application that runs from a computer based version of the compact disk – 1984
  • Email invented by Ray Tomlinson – 1971

I believe these points are the top 10 because they are all things that are still used in the world today and have influenced some other ways of making and producing work, such as books have given people different ideas of laying out work and how to display things.

Johannes Gutenberg made the first book in Europe in 1445. He produced the book by using an invention that later led to him inventing the printing pres a few years after. The book he printed was the bible, it was a revelation of its time because of the neat and easy to read lettering without the need of glasses.
