Our first Design Project is based upon the Introduction of the textbook, as well as a lecture given by the professor on the Victorian Era. The project will be to design an effective Travel Poster in the vernacular and letterpress style of the Victorian era, but from a contemporary visual communication point-of-view. Clients may include the Railroad, the Mormon Church, or Sutter's Mill – any company, group or organization that would have had a want or need to promote travel to the western US during the middle to late 1800s. Emphasis must be put on the construction of an effective message for your particular audience, as well as appropriate design and era style.
You MUST write a design brief for the project defining the message, the sender and the audience, as well as well the poster's intended objective. Publish your design brief, thumbnails, concept roughs, tight comps as well as the final design for the project as a single post on your blog.
