We’re looking forward to you joining the Graphic Design A Level in September! In preparation, we have created the below prep work for you to get stuck into over the summer and to give you an idea of what is to come for you on your course.

Research and gather information about 10 key events throughout history that had an impact on graphic design. Give a brief overview of the event (roughly 2 – 3 sentences) and the date. The pictures below will give you some clues…
There are 3 categories of information that you should look for:
· Technological developments (relating to graphic design)
· Important events in history (social, cultural, historical)
· Art movements & styles
Note: you do not need to get 10 of each category, just 10 events overall.
Arrange the events in chronological order (bullet points is fine!) on a Google doc or Word document. Include any relevant pictures.
Leave a space between your events – we are going to use these by cutting up the information and pictures, to create a timeline in your first lesson on induction day!
