Today and Homework
Poster Project
Styles
* Art-Nouveau - characterized by the depiction of leaves and flowers in
flowing, sinuous lines, often influenced Japanese prints
* Cubism - fragmented collage and images, type used as abstract element
* Futurism - breaks traditional symmetrical layout, emphasized the power, force & motion of machinery
* Dada - experimentation and randomness, frequently mixing fonts
employing unorthodox punctuation
*Surrealism - the works feature the element of surprise, unexpected
juxtapositions and non sequitur
*Constructivism - combine words and pictures into single element
usually with political message (ex. Russian revolution posters)
*Bauhaus - techniques and materials employed especially in industrial
fabrication and manufacture
* Swiss - uses grid, asymmetry and minimal type (often, helvetica)
* Psychedelic - malleable, distorted letterforms and organic expression
* Typographic Deconstruction - (battle between legibility and maximum
visual impact ex. Emigre Magazine)
* Punk - Rip, Torn, collage, breaking apart and reconstructing pre made information
Details:
The information that you put on your poster is more or less up to you.
However, it should fulfill the purpose of informing someone who may
have never heard of this art movement. It should include at least 20
words, the name of the movement, the date it started and at least one
important artists or designer involved in the movement. The movement
title should be a primary focal point in the design.

5. Next class (April 2), come with your drawn out poster mock up and we will scan it and recreate it in illustrator. ALL RESEARCH MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE COMING TO CLASS.
Project Requirements:
