Schools of Estonian Graphic Art in Journalism in the 1930s

The basis for the development and spread of graphic design in the 1920s and 30s in Estonia was the rapid progress of the country's economy and commerce. The rise in the number of publications led to a greater need for designers. The need for local staff arose in all fields of applied graphics. In the 1930s, graphic artists were trained at two professional art schools -the State Applied Art School (Riigi Kunsttstuskool) in Tallinn and the Higher Art School (Krgem Kunstikool) Pallas in Tartu. The present article focuses on the analyses of the creative work of the graphic artists of both schools, trying to mark the differences and similarities
