Beginning of the project

                                            Mood board of 15th century artwork


The brief for our first project in the second year is about digital storytelling involving 15th century art, I will have to look at periods in the 15th century and talk about what happened and why. The periods that I will have to look at are: the beginning of the Renaissance Era, Dark Ages; the birth of the Age of Discovery, naval ships and navigation methods that create new trade routes and route partners, birth of print making (Johann Gutenberg's invention.) I will have to pick a route to go down to create a piece for this project, I have picked graphics and photography because I would like to take images and turn them into graphic design pieces. I will research information about the 15th century and use some actual information and fictional throughout the project.

To begin the project, I have created a mood board on artwork and paintings which were created in the 15th century period. I have also started to create a timeline of the 15th century so that I get an idea of what happened at what time. It will also remind me what order the events happened throughout the century.
