History of Graphic Design Information Grid

Use this grid to compile information about each segment of graphic design history, including designers, styles and artifacts. You can add more rows as you need them
and/or change the text size, formatting arrangement, etc. to make it work for you. However, you must include information on these given topics for each historical period.
As well as functioning as an ongoing assignment for the course, this grid will be your study guide too. Make sure to add this information during each module as we go.
