#designvalues

My group's manifesto has 3 important components.

Principle, Aesthetic and Reflection.

We agreed on these components as group mates because we believe that these are crucial in our design career. Our design principles are communication, visual engagement and to inspire. Through communication, we are able to connect with others through our viewers. We are also able to convey our message which is important. Aside from those, communicating works wonder in meeting with clients to prevent from misinterpretation. With interactive and colourful designs, we are able to inspire and engage with our audience while also creating social support and build stronger bonds.

This series of posters is a good example for our group's manifesto as it fits the standards of our design values. The posters were communicated effectively with the vibrant text. These images gave off a sense of cold due to the colour grading which also depicts how persons with disabilities are being treated.

This social campaign's purpose is to educate others about people with disabilities. To let the viewers know the obstacles face by persons with disabilities as they go about their daily commute. Hoping that this series will inspire the public to be more considerate.

Any people with half a heart would understand the meaning behind the posters as it speaks a thousand words.

In my personal manifesto, I have included mental health and good amount of sleep. It is important to prioritise these two values because they will help us mentally and physically.

Designing for clients can be draining and it may affect our design passion. To prevent from feeling this way, I make passion projects to keep the love going. My group's manifesto is not that different than mine because our beliefs are somewhat similar.

In my point of view, one of the aspects of CTS B that were significant for me would be: Week 2 - This is How You Connect Theory with Practice.

To be an illustrator is to have a strong artistic identity. Anyone can illustrate, but it is how we interpret and make meaning in our visuals. From this lecture, I learnt the importance of identity and I will be connecting this aspect in my design career.

However, Design-wise, the aspect that would be significant to the studio module is manifesto. By creating a structured manifesto, it will help us to be consistent and committed to a certain goal.

My Studio works from last term is a good example of my design values. My initial poster looked different than my current poster. The current poster have lesser elements than the original artwork because I believe that lesser is more. By being open to feedbacks and having self-reflection, we will able to improve ourselves!
