Barbie a History of a Doll timeline

Tomorrow is Barbie's 60th Birthday.  Above is a timeline I designed for one of my classes last semester.  I drew Barbie's dream house (one of many) and separated the rooms into different eras, with key points and dolls for each.  The photos are from the internet and since it was a school project, I didn't keep track of the sources.  Some are from books too.  Due to the fact I lost my flashdrive, I no longer have the original final version of this file, only a jpg and early stage progress so I can't change it unless I start over.  But overall I like how it turned out.  I used two fonts, Barbie Medium Itallic and Dolly Script font, which is for personal use.  I consider school projects personal use, since I have no intent on selling the final product.

It's not a paper doll, but I figure most people who like paper dolls like real dolls too!  and i like sharing other projects.  I do not have time to make a paper doll for her birthday, with two jobs, school and a wedding next week.

  1. This is just fantastic! I got my first bendy legged doll in 1968 when I was 8 years old for my birthday; from an aunt. My mom refused to buy me a big bossomed doll! Tee hee....I was thrilled although the doll wasn't Barbie; she was a white haired Stacey which I still have. I got Francie for my 9th birthday. I also got Skipper, Ken and Kelly. I still love Barbie (the original 1960's ones) and all her gorgeous clothes. I'm not fond of curvy Barbie...I like to dream. lol
