PDF Ebook Art Deco in Estonian and Latvian Graphic Design Journals

Submitted by antoq on Sun, 07/19/2009 - 08:15

Journalism gives good information to historians about the lifestyle and cultural standard of an era. Not only the text but also an appearance of a journal (cover design, illustrations, vignettes, etc.) contain a lot of information.

Graphic design journals and magazines have beenpublished in Europe, the USA and other countries since the 19th century.The journals covered graphic design, typography, illustration, advertising, photography, book publishing and other related subjects such as the mechanical aspects of publishing. Many of these journals demonstrate beautiful graphics and are an excellent source of information about the artists as well as about the everyday life of people. It is important that they include a far wider range of visual materials than is normally embraced by art history. They are reflections of relations of power, aesthetic objectives, changing theories of art and even the religious conceptions and rituals of society.

In the pre-television era, written press was intended for a very wide audience. As almost the only channel of mass media, it had an immense influence on shaping people’s tastes and preferences, thus guiding the political arrangement and cultural life of society. Media was also a tool for exercising power thanks to the rather privileged access of politicians and government officials to journals and magazines.

Ebook Payday Holiday: How Households Fare after Payday Credit Bans

Submitted by wulan on Mon, 09/14/2009 - 03:52

In 1933 President Roosevelt closed all banks in the U.S. The “bank holiday” was a desperate effort to calm bank depositors and halt the runs that were draining money and credit from circulation.

In 2004 and 2005 the governments of Georgia and North Carolina permanently closed all the payday lenders operating in their state. Payday lenders are “fringe banks” (Caskey 1994): small, street level stores selling $300 loans for two weeks at a time to millions of mostly lower middle income urban households and members of the military. The credit is popular with customers, but despised by critics, hence the bans in Georgia and North Carolina. This paper investigates whether those “payday holidays” helped households in those states. Why might less credit help? Because payday loans, unlike loans from mainstream lenders, are considered “debt traps” (Center for Responsible Lending 2003).
