My Infographic


My latest project has been to design an Infographic. This is basically showing a timeline but in an unusual way.  I had to do a timeline on a period of art history. I was given dates from the 1880s to 1960s. I chose the 1920s to 1930s, this is because I think it really was a  progressive and experimental period. It was the introduction to modern art moving from realism to surrealism .
Here is my final infographic timeline
 I started collecting six different fonts that were inspired by and look like the 1920s to 1930s. Within each font is a different art movement. There are a lot of art movements in 1920s to 1930s so I chose the most recognised. These were :

- American scene painting 
- Art Deco 
- De Stijl 
- Harlem Renaissance
- Precisionism
- Surrealism

I then displayed the six fonts with the dates. I like this because it uses type and image combined with art history.
