The Brief Summarised:
We have to choose one article from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and present it as a typographic poster which fits the text meaning we have to display it using the hierarchy of text “Where words or phrases are more meaningful than others they should be presented more prominently in your final piece.”
It will mainly be a typographic poster but we are allowed to include point, line and plane if wanted
For the Dimensions we are allowed to do what we want (within reason) it can be vertical or horizontal, but it should be designed for screen (mobile, tablet, laptop, etc.) And we are also being told to use structuring and grids to create it e.g. Fibonacci sequence or Material Design’s 8dp Grid.
Researching Advice:
It is stated that we should be looking at styles of typography that would be best suited for the content that we are making, we should be looking at work from the Futurists, Dadists, Swiss Design or Post Modernism but we can also look at other works but it has to fit the content, I may look at Bauhaus as well.
We were also given two names to research which were Josef Müller-Brockmann and Wim Crouwel as it was stated that they “made excellent use of typographic hierarchy combined with a minimal approach to image and colour to create beautifully balanced pieces.” so I will do that
Figma Advice:
Obviously, we have to create it in Figma, It should focus more on typography and point, line, and plane. We are not allowed to be Illustrative, Diagrammatic (in the form of a diagram(= a simple plan or drawing explaining something**)** iconic as well as any photographs.
And lastly Colour should be restricted to no more than two colours, tones are also permitted
Deadlines:
Initial submission and review: Monday 4 November 2024 ( Week 7 )
Final submission: no later than 12pm (noon), Monday 6 January 2025
Below is the article I am choosing:
Futurism - Futurism was an art movement that was birthed in Italy, and came out of the early twentieth century (1909) that aimed to capture the dynamism and energy of the world through art, it first came about when Italian poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti released his Manifesto of Futurism on the Paris newspaper ”Le Figaro.”
The Futurist art style used elements of neo-impressionism and cubism to create artwork that expressed vibrancy, energy and movement, of modern life.
Below are some examples of Futurism:
