For my final posting, I want to present each era as an representative image based on the timeline that was in our lectures. I had started this post earlier so when I opened Module 11 that had a nice review of what we learned, I was thinking oops. But this is strictly off the chart from the modules. Of course some images I picked were just because I liked it or it was different or it meant something to that time frame or just because. If you find an obvious error, please let me know.
I learned a great deal from the class of "History of Graphic Design." Now every where I go I notice the design and think "that's Bauhaus" or at least take a guess. The artists and designers were always adventurous and pushing the boundaries expanding our world and were great to study to learn about. As I grew up in the printing industry, I was able to relate to many of the printing and typesetting aspects.
I would like to have studied the first four chapters more slowly like 2 chapters a week instead of the 4. The book was so detailed sometimes I felt I had information overload. It had an impossible task which was to try and find as much as possible all the influential design and art that has effected Graphic Design. I also wish all the Modules and quizzes had been released in the beginning so at times I could do ahead. Commenting on others field journals were a challenge as most didn't post until just before it was due. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the class and reading other classmates field journal as they taught me too.
So, here is my small contribution.
