Contextualized Biography Assignment

I am proud of how well my most recent assignment for my Graphic Design History class came out. I had the concept down in a few days, but I didn't start working on the assignment (even the research) until 2 hours before it was due! This is my assignment. (2.16 MiB PDF) You are to select a prominent designer. Then you will then be required to do some research, so that you can write up a brief “contextualized biography.” This will be no more than 250 words, and include the following elements: Five (5) milestones in the career of your designer and Five (5) other major events that happened during the life/career of your designer, one from each of the following categories: Society, Politics, Music, Economics and Technology. You may format your contextualized biography either as a bullet list or a horizontal time line. I choose Paula Scher and my time line's inspired by her painting of NYC below.
