TASK FOUR: VISUAL MANIFESTO

-

 

Presentation Notes Page One:

I chose 'Non-Dxscript' as my brand name because it was a nickname given to me back in college. My work differed so much from project to project so, people just described it as non- descript. Now I wear it as my design name because I am a multi-media, multi-skilled, illustrator/ graphic designer- and that is quite a mouthful so, Non-Dxscript seemed more fitting. 

As for the colour choice of my branding, this will probably be an ever-changing variable. I go through phases of different favourite colours all of the time, right now it is red. This also fits with my personality. 

Finally, my logotype is in a gothic font called angelwish, in black. I have always enjoyed fonts that originate from blackletter, once again this relates to my personal and own sense of style. The type and black colour choice are the fixed variable in my branding, in a funny way it basically says "it's not a phase mom!" with regards to me being labelled a goth.

For example, this was a competition brief led by Penguin Random House where you had to select a book from three and design the full cover. I do not typically go for these sort of projects as a screen designer, however the book, "The Uninhabitable Earth", targets the climate crisis. I chose this book because it aims to inform people of the severity of climate change and the impact we have.  My design is small in the grand scheme of things but, could make a huge difference if it helps the book sell.

This was a self-initiated, internal collaboration project, where we designed a proposed communication kit specifically tailored to people with Borderline Personality Disorder. This was a project I was extremely proud of. We had also decided that if it was to be released as an actual product, Talk With Me would be the brand and we could design different boxes for various "touchy subjects" to help people communicate better.

This project was the one that had really given me an idea of how I want to be as a designer. The designs were a response to the growing streaming service industry and how we as designers can continue benefitting the music industry with design. 

I also am thinking of doing a course in Computer Science to try and build apps like these and use other design technology. 


I wanted to keep my manifesto short and concise because I want the person/ people I am presenting, to remember the statements I have made. This would generally be what I would put as my manifesto on a website. It brings all the important aspects of my design process into one short statement.

(B5) KEY FEATURES OF GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE

-
Image
Gothic style can vary depending on location, age and the type of building (the purpose as such). 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...

(B5) GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE: KEY TERMINOLOGY

Image
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. It is an integral structural element to support these large buildings.  Flying Buttresses A similar feature is flying buttresses. They also act as an extra support f...
