Detailed Description

A timeline is a display of events in an order that exhibits prominent trends and helps understand the reason for such occurrences. There have been several timelines available for art movements and design. However, most of these are meant to document the history that art and design charted in the West. There wasn’t a cohesive timeline to display the evolution of design in India. The aim of the project was to create a design timeline emphasizing on the evolution of design in India. However, it still tries to fulfill the key moments from the History of Design in the West in order to serve as a holistic reference for any design student in India. It focuses on typography and graphic design while covering the scientific, socio-economic, political, and art influences.
