Noroff’s Bergen Campus: A Journey Through Graphic Design History
Client Overview:
For this project, I was tasked with designing a creatively folded leaflet for a pop-up exhibition at Noroff’s Bergen campus. The exhibition aims to showcase seminal graphic design styles from the period of 1950-1980, highlighting the evolution and impact of each style. The leaflet serves as both an educational tool and an invitation, drawing visitors into the rich tapestry of graphic design history.
Key Features:
Diverse Design Styles: The leaflet features four distinct graphic design movements: International Typographic/Swiss, Pop Art, Psychedelic Poster, and New Wave/Punk. Each section includes a detailed paragraph about the style, key designers, and integrates unique graphic elements representative of each movement.
