Manifestos, next step

Personal Manifestos

Working again at 8 x 10, create three different layouts using your manifesto text. Explore how the messaging can change by employing different modes of hierarchy. These should be diverse. Composition matters, these should be beautiful. You are now free to combine any strategies for creating contrast; i.e. leading, scale, indent, tracking, etc. These should be black and white, with text only. 

Group Manifesto

Parameters: 

_Large scale broadside 

_Everyone should design a portion of it

_Everyone should have a say in the language and the design

Considerations: 

Elements of the project brief to decide as a group

_Final Size?
_How will you print it?

_Color?

_Typefaces?

_How can you create a collective design artifact that allows individuals to design components? 

_What are the project roles? Do you have team leaders? 

Midterm Binder

Binders should include all process work from the class as well as the final artifacts.

(do not punch holes in final work)

Special Note for Project One:
Final artifact: Portfolio quality photographs of all compositions, print photos on 81/2 x 11 paper.

The work should be organized in chronological order and easy to navigate.

Include an intro page that includes your name and a self assessment. This assessment should cover what you think you did well and what you think you'd like to work on improving — please include specific examples.


DUE: THURSDAY 10/12

Project Five, Phase One

step one: Select three varied texts, identify quote. Using an 8x10 format, explore hierarchy to achieve varied meaning and impact. Create three versions of each following these restrictions:

Version One

Explore only Leading and Scale 

Choose the left edge where the text begins and keep that same placement through all 3 compositions.

Version Two

Explore only Weight/Style and indent

Using one text size with a right reading, flush left, ragged right alignment, explore hierarchy only through indentation of text using “tabs”. (btw: You can set custom tabs) Choose the top edge (y-axis) where the text begins and keep that same placement through all 3 compositions.

Version Three

Free Style
