| − | Through exploring ''BLAST'' | + | Through exploring the evolution of ''BLAST'' between issues, we have been able to conclude that the outbreak of World War '''did''' have a significant impact on the nature of the publication. We have observed that the war drained the magazine of most of its unique energy and replaced it with more a informative portrayal of the articles. However, the abstract style endorsed by the original Vorticists was still preserved in at least one aspect of the second issue: the cover. |
The themes used in the magazine were directly taken from the social effects of the time. We observed differences as the initial issue utilized most of its abstract nature in the words while the second issue used it in the cover and reverted to a more traditional layout for the text. | The themes used in the magazine were directly taken from the social effects of the time.
