Design Manifesto Poster
After studying design manifestos, we were tasked to create our own personal manifesto typographic poster. The poster must express my personal creative manifesto and be A2. I decided that my manifesto poster would include the words:
Firstly I sketched out my ideas and my manifesto. Once I had chosen an idea I opened up adobe Illustrator and indesign on an A2 file and plugged in my drawing tablet. I used a drawing tablet to sketch a rough idea of my design which I prefer to paper because it easier and there is no scanning process. The design I chose is to have the typography in the center as it is the main focus and things that you use to design and create around the edges. I sketched a border that included a sketch book, coloured paper, marker pens, scissors, glue, cutting mat, keyboard and a mouse. I used the pen and curvature tool to draw over my sketch and filled each shape with colour. For the background I made it a light turquoise but thought it needed more dimension so I halved the page and put a darker shade on the right. For the text I typed it out on Adobe Photoshop and transferred it over. I used the same black text for each word in the same size however made the word 'passion' bigger and white with a black box behind it because I think this is the most important word in my manifesto.
- Planning - because planning before designing on computer is very important and you should always sketch out your ideas first.
- Inspiration - Research always helps you gain inspiration.
- Ideas - Your own ideas are important, just as much as other peoples ideas if you are working in a group.
- Creativity - To be a designer/artist you must have creative flair.
- Passion - most importantly you must have passion because with out it your heart wont be in the work and you wont produce your best work.
