Task 2 Individual Work - Visual Chart


To Create my Visual Chart I chose to use Adobe Photoshop.

Notes on Visual chart:
The yellow lines show influences the designers and movements had, for example Marcel was influenced by Alto and his bicycle influenced him on his designs. Sottsass was influenced by pop art with its beautiful bright colours, also Art Deco shapes.

Red lines show the same material other movements used. Streamlining and Bauhaus used metal and Alto and Sottsass both used wood.

Green lines show what was happening through those years of the design movement. Scandinavian, streamlining and Bauhaus all had something to do with the Nazi and with people losing their jobs, without money and no place to live. During Bauhaus Women fought for their rights, to vote and to get equal pay why would a person working the same hours as others are and not want to have the same pay? World War 2 effected both Bauhaus and Scandinavian design. Both pop art and radical design experienced two memorable event which both effected them in design. The grand idea JFK had brought up and said that america will be able to put the first man on the moon and also later on they experienced a sad moments when he was shot dead in front of a big crowd in a roofless car with his wife.

Blue lines show the group of Memphis the song were they got the name from, while at Sottsass talking about the ideas he had for this group and a design the Memphis group design together.

I'm happy with how my Chart came out in the end, it's exactly what I wanted, no crowding, everything nicely put and certainly not confusing to realise what's happening between the movements, the designers and through the years of their designing on which influences they had and on why or what the had to design for,
