DP3/ History of Photography - Primary Research

Here are photos from the Kodak exhibition at the Bradford Media Museum. I found all the old cameras really interesting to look at and think drawing them could create great design pieces.

For my graphic design museum, I think I would include a section on photography, as this is an important part of design, so it is lucky that I have found this exhibition.

I need to find out more research about the history of photography, to make some notes to be included in the design of the leaflets for the proposed museum. This would be skills driven, as it is allowing me to learn more about photography.

As well as this area, there would be sections on traditional printing, modern printing, typography, illustration, animation, video, digital media, and a general graphic design section to cover all the core areas.

I especially like the vintage typography found in the old adverts for the cameras, and I think this could be a good thing to research, to bring a new style of design in to my work.
