Assignment:
1. Choose one period, culture or designer from areas covered by chapters 1 through 13. Within the body of work from your chosen period, culture or designer, choose ONE artifact representing an example of graphic design from that period. The artifact does not have to be from Megg's textbook. It can be an object like a stele, wall carving/painting, scroll, handwritten or printed book, example of visual language or typeface, print, or poster.
