PROJECT II: Postmodern Band Flyer

For Project II you will create a band using the movement names from
THE LIST. The only names off-limits are those of pre-existing bands (War and Bauhaus are off-limits [although Dessau Bauhaus (any sub-genre)would be OK])
Make a tabloid sized flyer for a show the band will be playing in a venue somewhere, anywhere on campus.

Consider the Psycadelic Poster Artists' variations on designs by Art Nouveau designers. Your flyer should rely heavily upon a style from one of the designers from the movement you choose to work with, but should also update this style to appeal to contemporary sensibilities.

Begin with research. (posted to research blog) Find three examples of a designer from your movement. For each of the three designs, answer the following questions:
-How are these examples characteristic of the movement?
-What specific stylistic devices are characteristic of this designer in particular?
-(consider palette, composition, typeface, medium of image reproduction or illustration)
-Include names, titles, dates.

Your designs should display a research and familiarity with the style you choose. Be prepared to answer for your choices and variations upon the original style.

Include date and time.
We will post these on campus, so your date and time should be anytime before the due date of the poster.
