Time capsule

After receiving the brief i am now going to undertake research on different design periods as i know little to nothing about most of them and wish to explore a wide range before making my final choice.initially i will undertake a broad search to get an overall feel of the different movements. i think it will be interesting to explore some thing i have little knowledge about as i will be constantly finding out new things. i want my choice to be interesting but also a challenge. it would help as well if i could relate it to now for example some one who has had an influence on some thing i am familiar with now.
