Project Brief:

This goal of this project was to show time through a clear, organized system. It was important to create a strong typographic hierarchy and make it easy to read and understand the information. For my poster not only was it about creating hierarchy and a clear flow throughout the text, it was also about having fun because bathing suits are fun!

Overview:

Overall I felt like this project was a good exercise of breaking the norm. Throughout my grade school and high school a timeline has always been just that, a line. It was nice to make a more non-traditional, abstract and playful timeline.

I am very glad I chose the topic bathing suits because it was a much needed break from the more serious and dark look I created for my book covers. I stayed true to myself with the imagery as well, which I am happy about. I didn't try to be anything I am not. I love patterns and swirly, girly marks, so this project went very smoothly for me.
