Week 9: Manifesto Exploration

After some research earlier in the week, I began with some practice manifesto iterations. To begin, I regrouped my ideas and thoughts that I had explored in both parts one and two to help give me more of a direction to work towards. Below is an image of my map to regain my thoughts.

I then explored my key words, title ideas and layout and type ideas (below).

I was struggling visualise ideas this way so I begun sketching possible layout and visual ideas (below). Sometimes I find it works best of I just draw/write what comes to mind because it allows me to clear my head, reorganise my thoughts and visualise my ideas on a page.

All of these sketches look at and challenge the idea of conformity through the manipulation and alteration of a standard document form. Something I gathered from my research was that the title was a main visual feature that can be a very important part in the manifesto so this is why the title is a focal point in all of my sketches.

Below are three of my sketches that I took and made properly on the computer.

After discussions and feedback from peers and lecturers, I found that iteration 3 was most impactful. After talking to Lucy, I realised that conformity was only a part of what I have been and wanted to explore and to expand my mind to what I am aiming to achieve with my manifesto.
