  • I really struggled for the 'About' and studio name for myself. It is something I have thought about but, I never really looked at it in this much detail
  • I have an Instagram account where I post my design work and just recently, I have tried to make it look my own as such 
  • The name Non-Dxscript came from a joke I had at college. When studying my level three in art and design/ graphics, I was the only one that had never done an art course in the past and had a very academic background. When people used to ask what my style was I used to reply "Non- descript", because I didn't really understand the question for a long time. It stuck from then and its just what I named my design account later. 
  • It still works for me because I still do not have a fixed style or medium
  • As for the typography, I have always been drawn to the original black letter fonts of the past, especially the more modern iterations seen today 
  • It also reflects how I started learning digital design/ illustration, I used to (and still) draw my designs and then trace over on the computer or just edit it. Similar, to how this typeface has made it to the screens. 
  • With that, the use of the traditional black letter styled font against the more computer-generated appearance of the other type tries to show my interest in both traditional and digital mediums
  • As for colour schemes, if I could only red, white and black for the entirety of my career, I would not mind. I naturally go to that colour pallette when thinking of designs.

However, to identify these buildings architects use five key architectural features: Large stained glass windows This is why gothic architecture is usually associated with places of worship as this feature is prevalent in Gothic cathedrals. "Featuring meticulously cut coloured glass" which are usually tall and arched windows (lancet) or round (rose). Often taller than the windows typically seen in churches. The idea is to let in technicolour light.  It is also known that these windows frequently feature tracery, which is decorative stone support. Pointed arches Another identifiable feature is the pointed arches. These are found in most places of worship i.e churches and cathedrals. It is suggested that the pointed style of these arches was taken from Islamic architecture rather than the typical Romanesque buildings found typically in Europe. The idea behind the shape of these wind...

In order to understand the texts related to Gothic architecture, I really need to understand the terminology as I aforementioned when looking at the previous text. I will be listing definitions along the way to better understand. Also, if my designs will have an informational aspect, it would be better to use this terminology or synonyms at least for whatever target audience I choose.  (All within the context of Gothic Architecture) Pointed Arches  Large pointed arches typically found on the Gothic buildings, also seen in many places of worship Large Stained Glass Windows Hugely associated with churches and cathedrals but, also a key feature in Gothic buildings  Ribbed Vaulting  There are a few different types of vaulting, ribbed vaulting is the one most commonly associated with Gothic architecture.
