Looking into John Whitney's Animation "Catalog"

Currently we are doing a unit in college on 'The History of Animation'. We are looking at some of John Whitney's "Catalog" work from 1961. I was most interested about the 'waves' in his Catalog so I decided to try and interoperate them in Photoshop to add into my Powerpoint on 'The History of Animation'.
