(For example, was it during WWI etc.) Summarize the design movement in two sentences. WHAT'S YOUR PITCH?! Why should we care?! What is this movement known for and what was it influenced by? Slide 2 & 3: Who are two important designers we should know? Why should we care about them? What’s the essential information we should know? Provide Examples of their work Slide 4-5: Break down the visual design aesthetic. What are some of the common visual themes? What elements and Principles of Art and Design are used? How could we use this style in modern day design? Can you find modern design examples? Ask yourself: IS THIS INFORMATION ESSENTIAL? We don't need to know birth dates and boring stuff like that. What information is going to make us all better designers?

Why did you choose those images? What element of design did you decide to focus on for this design? Do you think your design is successful? Why or why not? What images did you use to represent your PRESENT self? Why did you choose those images? What element of design did you decide to focus on for this design? Do you think your design is successful? Why or why not? What images did you use to represent your FUTURE self? Why did you choose those images? What element of design did you decide to focus on for this design?
