8. Herbert Matter

Note: Each of your screening note blogs should have five images of design work relating to the film you watched.
Final Blog:
10. Design History Timeline with 20 images

FINAL PROJECT:
Informational Brochure on a Historical Designer.
Your final project may be either a printed brochure OR an online publication (using a free online publication site) OR an informational website.
Each brochure should have 3 pages, 800 words, and 4 images PER student involved.
For each student involved, 1 of the four images should be a detail, a section of one of the full images also included in your project.  This close-up section should reveal something about the designer's work,  something about the designer's aesthetic.
Each brochure should contain biographical information, information about the designer's contribution to the history of design, and information about the design movement the designer was involved in.

BLOG POST for BLOG FINAL :
Arrange 20 images chronologically.  List the Designer, Design Movement, and Date Created.  Your range can be either all of design history or 20th Century.  20th Century will prove a little more difficult in that so many design movements overlap - overlap is OK as long as you have 20 images.  (This is about you, creating a sequential picture of design history for yourself)

THIS WEEK:  If you have not yet done so, please post a description of your midterm project to your blog.
This week will be a screening week, BAUHAUS and HELVETICA.  Screen notes for the two films will be due to your blogs for next week.
PLEASE NOTE: We will not be meeting in person this week.  If you would like to meet about your projects, please send me an email.
