manifesto

This was the revised edition of my manifesto. I decided to make it a personal declaration in a contract from, and so blended a number of family signatures and created one large signature. I formed my own stamp that included a shorter, punchier version of my quote and them a finalising statement beneath my stamp. This was the statement that was to round up my entire manifesto poster. This became a clearer and cleaner version that I thought provided more impact. I prefer this version.

I like the fact that i was able to go back and look at my previous work and change it accordingly to improve it. This was a great exercise for self evaluation. This is a skill and an insight that I will take with me in future projects. 

MANIFESTO draft poster

This task was very interesting as the idea of a manifesto is to basically put forth in writing of some sort of form of ideals/goals or personal things to live by which essential conveys one of the most important part of you. For me from the start of the project I wanted to make it personalised to me. This being said, I chose to do it based upon my 'ethos to life'. I didn't want it to necessarily be specific in detail but I wanted it to breathe a sense of stature and prominence, quite like a quote you would hear in Washington D.C written in stone near a statue. "To be one who enlightens and builds a platform for success. To study ones self from a rich mental construct and build focus and purpose. Brew in creation and embrace my own divinity... My business is to create". This was also inspired by William Blake "my business is to create". This is one of the quotes that I also live by and so this project did inspire a personal attachment with me. I wanted the form of this manifesto to be presented almost as an official letter and so this is what I tried convey in the image above; a certificate of purpose. This project for me was based upon "who Am I" and so creating a female icon that represented me positioned in an area of the world that showed where I want to travel to... well at least once in life.

The areas that I was questioned on was the date stamp across the centre of the page. It was suggested to me that I changed this specific to me, and so maybe use my date of birth. It was also suggested that I create my own stamp that had a layered impression of the british crest as this is where I was born. Finally it was suggested that in terms of a larger 'movement' or 'campaign' I should do an interchangeable icon for guys as well as women so this manifesto could be adapted to each person as a campaign contract of personal life achievements. Overall I enjoyed this project. It allowed to me to take into consideration larger project possibilities and from this I will most definitely learn for future projects to do so.

Brainstorm for time poster

This was a graphics poster i made for time that was supposed to be a contemporary take on a brainstorm. This was a play on the visuals of a clock; the most obvious interpretations of time and also a thought bubble. This was a simple yet experimentation task that i found interesting. Graphics is all about conveying something in a visual sense and so this task did say true to that.
