In this task we had to design a brochure showing four important periods in the history of graphic design. These four periods were:

• Swiss style
• Pop art
• Psychedelic Poster design
• New Wave/Punk style

We also had to create four graphic elements showing the style from these four periods.

Motivation

I tried to keep the style very simple with a few colours and a structured layout.
For the posters I tried to create something to present each style.

The reason why I used Salvador Dali for the psychodelic poster was because he is quite an odd artist and he was very active in that period. His art even has the same weirdness that psychodelic posters have.

I used Marilyn Monroe as the main object on the pop art poster as she is easy to make in the pop style (also very popular, so I might not have been very original!), and still look good.

For the Swiss style I created a simple concert poster, with a structured layout and Helvetica as the font.

The idea behind the New wave poster was to create something funny and ironic. The concept was: what happens if santa get stuck in the chimney and who will save him?
