Historical Figures - Quote Design


Learning without thought is labor lost ~ Confucius
Quotes can provide people with hope, inspiration, understanding, curiosity, enlightenment, or any other fulfillment that one is looking for. As you read famous quotes, how do you feel? What images come into your head? What do you think a quote would look like if it could be turned into a design?

Your task is to find a famous historical quote that you find interesting in some way. From this quote you will research its origins and how it relates to a time period, movement, body of work (books, artwork, etc), or event. From this information you gathered you will draw out a series of designs and choose one that will be made into a small poster using Illustrator.

Take a Look at "20 Examples of Beautiful Typography" and "25 Beautiful Examples of Typography Portraits" for inspiration.

For the requirements and expectations go to the handout Below:
