The EAMES and their influence on information design projects

What stood out to me from Charles & Ray Eames' films was the lack of extra & unnecessary information (imagery, voice over or text). And the overall presentation was aesthetically pleasing. As a young child, I watched Sesame Street. Since the Eames' films were integral with Children's Television Workshop (Sesame Street), their films were a part of my visual vocabulary before I was even aware of it. For the timeline on WWI & WWII Propaganda, we decided to focus on the imagery of the propaganda posters. Arranging them in a way that will present information with minimal necessary text. Much like the Eames' educational short films, it is up to the viewer to look/watch & soak in the information instead of being told through verbal/text.

World War I/II Propaganda -
For our Final group project our group is focused on covering examples from Print media propaganda used during World War I and II. Also we are covering propaganda created by all Countries involved in the wars.  We have decided to create a 'flag' image as the background for our timeline piece, with the focus being on the posters created. We plan using the American Flag and on the opposing Side using a compilation of two flag forms representing the two other countries.  As far as the mapping and 3rd project we do not have a set idea yet we are still gathering our research and trying to decide what the best mode of representing the additional information is.

An updated version:
Michelle did the mapping portion as an interactive website, comparing propaganda & women's suffrage in the U.S.A. & Britain. Megan created playing cards featuring our chosen artist, James Montgomery Flagg. Amanda & I collaborated with research & creating the flag & poster timeline. (We had some difficulty in locating propaganda posters with full artist & date information for countries other than the U.S.A. Per Joseph's approval we were able to concentrate on the visual information given by the timeline.)

Midterm

Updated Midterm Idea

Timeline showing artistic & other influences on Walt Disney feature length animated films. For example with Sleeping Beauty's backgrounds, medieval tapestries and paintings provided depth even with a stylistic flatness.

Midterm Idea

For my midterm timeline I have more than one idea & currently unsure which direction to pursue. I'd like to show the progression of impressionist paintings with individual artist's brush strokes (including other art/events that were occurring at the same time).

Or a comparison of impressionist paintings w/Art Nouveau. Personal favorites/influences on my preference in art aesthetics: Claude Monet, Mary Cassatt, Louis Comfort Tiffany & Alphonse Mucha.
