Art History Infographics
Understanding art history is not only fun but makes you a better designer. The presentation and timelines below show how artists and designers all build upon each other and help progress art movements. It is essiential to know what style comes from which time period especially if a client expresses interests in a style or time period you want to know all the elements.
Design and Art history presentation.
This is my Pop Art inspired design history timeline. Following feedback from my peers, I increased the size of the overall design. I included space for text and highlighted the areas of the text that everyone should see. I also highlighted Pop Art as being my main movement by streamlining all other images and putting emphasis on the Pop Art image. I added new colors and a better background furthering the Pop Art feel. I toned down the bottom so that it did not overpower the rest of the images.
This is my designer timeline inspired by Saul Bass. I feel this final fits his “cut-paper” style more. I was able to get both body text and imagery into each of the bars. There was enough room for me to add dates, a headline, and a footer as well. This came out better than what I hoped. The old paper effect really gives it a timely feel and color corrects the saturation of the color scheme so that its era appropriate. I had so much fun creating this and it really pushed my stylistic boundaries.
