Understanding different graphic design styles and their historical context will help you design your future projects. For some designs, you might find inspiration in Arts and Crafts or Art Nouveau characteristics, and in other designs you might want to use elements of Modernism and Expressionism. To practice this concept, you will create one poster designed in the style of two of the historical design movements you have learned about today.

Some sample text and images are provided below. You can use any of the provided materials or you can find and use your own. You can manipulate the content in any way you see fit and add any additional content you want. Don't forget that your main goal is to promote attendance to the concert, and all your design choices should support this purpose.

Use the text below as content for your posters.
