I did notice that many of the “graphic design” movements were actually much broader. You mentioning that graphic design was formally introduced in 1920 did make my brain click: “if it wasn’t introduced then, then anything around the 19th century doesn’t really constitute graphic design”
Personally, I still think it’s worth learning about these other movements, ideas, or philosophies because they did somewhat morph graphic design into what it is. Like Cubism wasn’t formally a graphic design movement, and leaned more towards fine arts (painting and sculpting the most) and architecture
However, the ideas and principles, I believe can still be applied within the graphic design context for example, in this poster:
Of course that’s a bit of a vague example, but it could depend on what kind of image the brand is going for and I guess cubism could apply somewhere that makes sense.
Your reply does seem to make this clearer. I guess what I could do is have Level 2 and 3 style content for the specific movements that have more involvement with graphic design like Bauhaus and Grunge. As for the pre-history times, I guess I could just briefy mention them without going into too much detail and not really create a whole separate article on them.
Woah! That’s as impressive as it is complex. I guess that does put some things into perspective and I can see what you’re trying to tell me. These graphic design movements can overlap, evolve, and accumulate the same way so I guess I’ll prioritize some of the topics on my list, ditch some, and try to incorporate the similar ones under one theme (like the Bauhaus and Swiss Graphic design style)
Thanks for your response, appreciate it!
