The Making of the Chart

As part of our brief we had to do an individual chart. This had to contain 5 designers from distinctive eras. This could be done either with Photoshop or other program or else handmade. As I am not really well in design programs I stayed to the handmade chart. I could be much more creative. 

Gerrit Rietveld 

 Red Blue Chair

Our chart had to be an A2 size because if it was a smaller size the information won’t fit. This chart was a visual chart so I challenged myself and done only picture without any information. I tried to describe each designer well with images.

Marcel Breuer

 Wassily Chair

 Alvar Aalto

First I decided about the designers because they have to interrogate with each other with their products. Where some got inspired, ideas, similarity and others. I started off with Gerrit Rietveld with his Red Blue chair, in the De Stijl era then I continued with Marcel Breuer with his Wassily chair that got inspired from the Red Blue chair. After with Alvar Aalto I compared him with Breuer with the bending of steel and wood and his famous Chaise Lounge. The fourth designer is Ron Arad with his After Spring/ Before Summer Chaise Lounge is similar to Aalto work. The last and not least Verner Panton with his Panton chair that was made in plastic and for the first time in a single mold like Arad made to his Chaise lounge one whole chair from a single 

steel sheet.

I grabbed a thick cardboard to hold everything in place, cut it into an A2 size. Then took some colourful cardboards and stick them to cover up the grey thick cardboard. Then I cut some more colourful pieces but smaller making them look as a page according to their size and colour. I did according to the images I founded. I found around six images per designer to describe well what is happening since it is a visual chart. I printed out the images, cut them and stick them rendering to their place after each other. I finished up by giving them a black boarder to distinctive from one page to another. On top of each colourful cardboard I wrote from where to start and finish just by numbering them. I tried my best to keep out from annotations and descriptive things.

This was my first visual chart I ever made, I think I did not went that bad, in fact I feel great of what came out. I tried to be creative as much as I can.
