Contextual Investigation

For this project I was able to work with two others to create a template for a informative poster of an architect who worked from 1890 to 1930. During this project I would say that making a grid together with my teammates was every successful. As a group we brainstormed ideas on a layout that could work for all of us and be able to tell a story and lead you through the whole poster. Our skills of using a grid on a poster came in hand and also being able to lead your eyes throughout it without it losing you. We worked really well as a team, our strengths were communicating and discussing ideas together. My part of this project was to learn a bit about William Lamb who was the principle architect for the Empire State Building where he used an Art Deco style as his inspiration. I was able to grow from this experience and learned how to work with others to create a successful project and learn a bit about architecture in 1890-1930.
