Using any media you choose, including the computer, create a series of 4 trading cards illustrating either some of the "heroes" of, or milestones in, graphic design. (examples might include Gutenberg; Herman Zapf; Aubrey Beardsley; the Bauhaus) Cards should be designed at 8.5 x 11 portrait format, and done in color. Use a unifying title or masthead on the cards to tie them together. Your cards will be two-sided, and should include some biographical or factual information about what made the person or development/idea important. (And please run a spell check or proofread before turning in...)
