Brief
Ranging in period groups from the late 1800s to the 1990s, the project will involve a historical analysis in the first phase, aimed at identifying the stylistic codes of the assigned era.
Next, the student must develop a storytelling presentation of an industrial object in use or born during the assigned era.
The end result will be a 16-sided self-covered brochure in which layout choices should find consistency in terms of style, language, colors, paper support and finishing, binding and printing.
Through this exercise, the student learns how to build a dialogue with a vendor, select media and finishes consistent with the project, and have a hands-on printing experience.
Walkman
Sixteenth dedicated to the birth of the Sony Walkman and how it revolutionized the way we experience music from 1979 onward.
Ludotek
Sixteenth dedicated to the world of portal gaming with a focus on the release of the Nintendo Gameboy SP Advance and its comparison with other range products. The brochure is imagined as a gaming magazine from the late 1990s.
TP-M200
Sixteenth dedicated to the Aiwa TP-M200 dictaphone, the first portable recorder to introduce microcassette support and vsensor technology capable of high-speed tape recording without loss of audio quality.
Twinings
Sixteenth dedicated to the historic British tea brand Twinings and the varied customs and traditions related to the world of infusions in British culture.
VHS
Sixteenth dedicated to the birth of VHS and how it laid the foundation for the home theater market, revolutionizing the film industry and at the same time the way we experience cinema by bringing it to a personal dimension.
Bennetsville Gazette
Sixteenth devoted to the birth of Coca Cola and how it quickly monopolized the beverage market by starting out as a pharmaceutical product. Its history and evolution considers only the first 15 years of Coca Cola’s history and is presented in a sixteenth that mimics a local U.S. gazette from the early 1900s.
