The industrial age brought about a series of political, economical
             and social changes that were generally reflected by the art works created
             at that time. We can think of many such works: Dickens and his novels of
             course or some of the paintings of mid-19th century. These works of art
             reflected not only a period of change for the society, but also the use of
             new means of production that endured faster made and usually better quality
             This is also the case of graphic design- in many ways, it followed
             the evolution of any other industry. The Gutenberg press was in use for
             several centuries when the steam engine was invented in the 18th century.
             "The development of the steam engine impacted on the mechanization of the
             printing presses"[1]. As in any other industry, the apparition and
             development of the steam engine and the "mechanization" of the design
             process made it possible to create more in much less time[2]. Even thus,
             as in many other areas, the negative consequences of graphics designs was
             quite high: an increase in speed was usually not reflected in the quality
             of the final product and the usual case was that the graphic designs were
             not of the same quality as before. The workers' experience and quality had
             also decreased and, in the end, it all impacted the quality of art.
             The graphic designs art began to pick up a serious commercial air in
             the second half of the 19th century, when the works began to be more than
             works of art and more related to the economic issues of the times. The
             label designs began to be registered as trademarks and were more and more
             used as commercial products rather than works of art. It was also during
             this period that the label with signature, attesting the product's quality
             that we see today in many commercials made its appearance.
             However, as I have shown in the lines above, this quest for speed and
