Artifact for historical influences.

1. You will analyze your artifact for historical influences. What are the previous periods, styles or designers who have had an impact on the creation, execution and presentation of the object? Using text and images, layout your argument for linking the object’s appearance and function to past visual communications. Include all aspects (image, typeface, color, material, presentation, etc.) of the design in your final analysis. You may discuss aspects of your objects time factors (social, technological, economic, environmental, religious, or political factors) but only as long as they relate to analysis of the historical influence of your artifact. (ie., no rambling, just straight forward analysis of the historical influences that preceded your artifact.) 2.
