TABLE QUIZ

Brainstorming for Desk Calendar Project

The first idea I had was to display different events that occur in Raleigh every month by using photography. The image I have above is of the ferris wheel, because the state fair every year is in october.

The second idea I had was to display the weather of every month.

This last idea is my favorite, the calendar above is also the same for the year 1949. For every different month there will be a different year and the illustration will be of the fashion of that time period.

timeline

My timeline is about how movie posters have progressed and changed graphically over the past few decades. Also how the printing press and other inventions and movements of art have influenced these designs. I have posted am image of the movie posters from the 1950s. Each decade will have its own illustration, also I have not yet put words on the illustration but there will also be a brief  comment about how these posters were influenced by the different movements.

Movie Poster Timeline

My timeline is focusing on how movie posters have changed since the very beginning.  This far I have found that movie posters have become a lot more complex just in the past few years. The difference between movie posters in the 80’s is extremely different from the movie posters now. The basic format for the posters has stayed the same but they are way more graphically appealing.  For my timeline I am going to have a lot of images of different movie posters over the past years. I have attached a tentative sketch of what my  timeline will look like.

Successful Spa Business Cards

I particularly like these business cards that I chose because they have a wide range of play. Some are very fun and animated but others are more professional and little more sophisticated. In addition to these business cards I also found another website that has a lot of different ideas for business cards. Different companies can also purchase these business cards from the website.
