20th Century Design: Pop Art

The 20th century design movement that is best embodied in my final project is pop art, a genre lasting from 1958 to 1972 that first emerged in Britain. Β This movement is characterized by a rainbow of colors, expressive forms, repetition, and vivid patterns. Β Furthermore, this genre often incorporates well-known personalities such as Marilyn Monroe, comics characters, and a wealth of consumerΒ products such as Campbell’s soup or Coca-Cola bottles.

One of the most widely known pop artists is Andy Warhol who created the works shown below.

Warhol was often inspired by mass produced advertisements and consumer goods. Β Likewise, I have been inspired to create my hologram final project based on well-known iTunes and iPod advertisements featuring silhouettes against bright pinks, greens, purples, and yellows. Β These bright colors and use of people are also key design features associated with Andy Warhol and his works.

An example of the type of advertisement I will be using is shown below.

Other pop design applications are shown as follows.

20th-Century Design Movements Expanded

If I were to project other 20th-century design movements on my design, they might look like the following drawings. Β The first sketch represents Art Nouveau, the second represents Organic Design, and the third represents Bauhaus Design.
