Project 2: Graphic Design History Poster – Info / Specs

Graphic Design History Poster 

Develop concepts to make a period of graphic design history easier to comprehend and remember.

Design a poster which summarizes a randomly assigned chapter from Meggs' History of Graphic Design. Read assigned chapter and take notes summarizing the text and answering study guide questions. Use the study guide questions to write a brief introductory overview to your chapter (1 to 3 sentences) which you'll use on the poster. Download the study guide here.

Scan all images and retype captions and place into a grid system based on historic time sequence while incorporating stylistic devices. Index captions to images. All images and captions should be used. UPDATE: USE 40 - 45 IMAGES, if you do not have enough in your chapter you'll need to do some additional research.

Print production: InDesign, full-color, 20" x 32" vertical format.
