2025 Senior Thesis

Inspiration and Motivation

The influence of graphic design stems farther back than most of the world even realizes, I personally love it because it uses all styles and forms of art to convey information in the most creative ways. Graphic design could even be perceived as the catalyst for the people who influenced history as far back as 38,000 BCE. My thesis will be to make a visual timeline to creatively explain and inform the evolution of graphic design and its technological advancements throughout history through a collection of poster designs to show where we have been, where we are today and where we are heading. I will be creating this to educate, inspire and inform creatives and non creatives alike.

Audience

This project is to spark the interest into someone who may not have any knowledge, that the effect of these advancements have had on shaping the world we live in now. For without most of these the vast spread of information would not be where it is and visuals would not help pave the streets we walk among now. So this is not reinventing the wheel in a sense but taking information that has been crucial to development as a society and making it interesting enough for the average Joe to want to know about it.
