Description:
A community to explore the history of design.
Design History is still being hand-crafted...
This community is being developed as a forum to discuss the history of design. This is a broad topic, and many other art movements fall under it's heading. Please feel free to explore and engage in the subject, there is much to learn!
A few basic rules -
• When posting an image, please post as much information as possible - title, artist, date, dimensions, location, and source for example. Obviously much of this information may not me known, but do your best!
• Please also feel free to talk about your post, offer analysis, or ask questions!
• As this is a forum for the study of the history of design, we've decided that posts promoting your own work are not allowed. There are many other places on LJ to do so, best of luck.
• Promotion of other communities are welcome provided they are relevant to our topic.
• WARNING - LJ Cuts are not required, this is an image community. That said, please don't post huge images or lots of them. In all things, balance.
Yours hosts...
