After Class chapters 6 and 7

1.) Incunabula

2.) We basically went over the readings today. But for majority of the time we were separated into groups to form a debate about each of the Renaissance men of the time: Ratdolt, Manutius, and Tory. My group had to look over Ratdolt's accomplishments and we found that he was very important since he eliminated the fear of a lot of scientific areas that the people once thought was witchcraft. In the end we found that Tory was pretty much the most influential of the time since he was so advanced in several areas of graphic design and he made many innovations that really set the pace for Graphic design in the future.

3.) The most important thing I learned was mostly about the Renaissance movement in the graphic design perspective. Those 3 men really influenced change in their cultures.

4.) I still just would really like to find more about Tory's life accomplishments.
