The brief for this assignment was to learn about the graphic design history and then make a creative fold for a leaflet that shows the timeline of graphic design styles from the 1950s and up. The leaflet needed to include four different styles throughout the history and they were: The swiss style (ca 1950 - late 1960s), Pop Art style (ca. 1950 - 1970), Psychedelic Poster Style (ca 1960 - mid 1970s) and New Wave/Punk Style (ca 1970 - mid 1980s).
For each style I made a visually grabbing poster that characterises the style from that period and all these posters needed to be unified in some way to create a consistent layout. A lot of these styles was paralleling each other so I made sure to make a timeline that showed this clearly. In each style there had to be a short paragraph about the style and a few influential designers.
I went for a leaflet that would open into a half circle. When folded it would turn into a triangle/cone shape. I went with a black background and the primary colors because these were all common in all the different styles and it symbolises all colors (when mixed).
