Visual Language...Timeline

In today’s session we were asked to create a timeline showing what our favourite TV programmes were, starting from how we were first introduced to it, until the present day, my chosen programme was Family Guy. The second timeline was to demonstrate how we were here (on the Graphics course at Leeds College of Art) today:

I had heard it mentioned in a conversation once.
My friend was telling me about a particular episode.
I watched it once and found it funny.
Begun to watch it more regularly.
My flat mate has every episode on DVD which I have mostly watched.

Studied Graphic Design at school.
Went to a Design and Marketing Agency for work experience.
Went on to do an A-Level in Graphics at John Leggott College.
Did a year Foundation Diploma in Art and Design.
Got accepted at Leeds College and started the course on 14/09/2009.

We were then asked to draw an image/symbol to represent each event, as I appear to have misplaced my sheet, I will type the image I had drawn:

Family Guy:
Speech bubble.
Star.
Laughing mouth.
‘Old school’ TV J
Stack of papers.

Graphics:
1. Poorly drawn perspective diagram.
2. Not sure but I think it was the Newmediachoice logo.
3. Square, triangle and circle.
4. Paint Splatter.
5. ‘X’ marks the spot.

Using these logos I joined up with Emma whos events were based on her favourite TV programme, At Home With The Braithwaites and the Graphic Design one, and we had to combine our symbols together and place them on to a timeline, this is in the possession of Richard or Ross, the next pair we joined up with. In that timeline, the four of us had to put all our events together to create another timeline, this one was separated into the TV programme timeline and the Graphic timeline. Visually, it was much more attractive than mine and Emma’s initial time line.
