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.
