Discuss at least four different works in detail, which you will address in your PowerPoint.

For the presentation, you should include background
information on the designer and discuss at least four different
works in detail, which you will address in your PowerPoint.
(More than four works is also fine.) You must discuss the
style of the works and address how it compares to other work
at the time. That means, a visual analysis of the designer’s
work is key to a successful project

The structure of the project:
Page 1 – Cover page with your name and the graphic designer
Page 2 – Background on the designer
Page 3 – Work 1 (image and bullet points describing the
object/style)
Page 4 – Work 2 (image and bullet points describing the
object/style)
Page 5 – Work 3 (image and bullet points describing the
object/style)
Page 6 – Work 4 (image and bullet points describing the
object/style)
Page 7 – Compare with other(s) from the time period, use
specific examples
Page 8 – Bibliography of sources consulted in MLA or
Chicago style Your research and visuals with be in PowerPoint and
should be saved as a pdf.

Introduction and identification
• Identification:
O
Who is the designer?
What is the subject or title?
• What are the technique and materials?
Where and when was the work made?
•
Subject matter (content/iconography): What type of
image and poster is it? What do you think was its
function?
Description and Composition:
What elements are used to give form to the design? Are
there photographs? Text? Drawings? Other forms or
shapes?
What colors are used for the elements? How to they
inform the design?
Discuss font style and usage.
How has the designer chosen to arrange elements?
How do these parts relate to one another? Do they
reinforce or undermine the message/information?
• Is the composition symmetrical? Does it appear
crowded or spacious? Do shapes vary or repeat?
What is the proportion between “solid” and “empty
areas? Is the emphasis on the center of the image or in
peripheral areas?
• Is there a message that the designer wished to make
clear? How do the compositional elements work to
inform you of this?
How would you describe the style of the work? How
does it compare to the designer’s contemporaries?
NOTE: Your analysis of the objects is the most important
part of the project!
