This is an explanation of my demonstration project. I’ve used the traditional page layout with the photos on the right side in the text on the left. my project is quite complex hence I’m writing this explanation so that the viewer gets a better understanding of my project. My project is built on the lines of a minimalistic color palette with a bright splash of just one color – red. Every 2 sides/2 pages running to each other have a great story and a great understanding between each other but are in no way linked to the other pages or sides in the magazine. Even though it is a magazine each page does a different story, has a different background, and is only connected on the basis of the monochromatic palette and the color scheme that is followed. I’ve tried to break through by manipulating typography in each and every page and combining traditional methods, typography, and layout with the modern-day editing, eye to design and manipulation of imagery and typography. the cover pages of my project are very minimalistic and very simple which gives a wrong perception of what might be inside, thus following through with my idea of “breaking through boundaries”. My project, on one hand, being very minimalistic, basic, and simple is also very versatile and very complex through its art and the ideas behind each artwork.
Survive – page 1 – the first artwork follows the monochromatic in the word colour scheme unanswered tells us the importance to read which is to survive in the freehand text it also comments ‘read for what ‘. the use of a traditional font along with handwritten text and the showcasing of books, one of the oldest known things to earth along with the modern-day editing is what shows the contrast.
Wedding – page 2 – this peace shows the modern they were in traditions with a 1947 news Bombay newspaper in the background. Again with the text, it is and all traditional text but the meaning of the word is something completely modern, and even the hand-drawn fixtures at the back breakthrough the entire composition of the artwork.
Protection – page 3 – this one is just a modern-day graphical layout with manipulation and repetition of typography and using the same color palette with a lot of red to emphasize the word protection.
Sights – page 5 – this is the same image being shown in a black and white format and colorful format. The red and black strings show how culture and religion can be changed, deferred, and completely rationalized, They show the misunderstanding of wrong connections and the wrong views we make through our eyes just because of our beliefs or believes that we have been forced to believe
Heights – page 6 – this one comes with the traditional and the very old saying which is also very intellectual – ‘fear of Heights of fear of falling ‘ no while this was very traditional alongside is a very unique and unfamiliar perspective of viewing the Burj Khalifa, so rather than looking at buildings from the top and being scared of Heights this perspective puts the question from the bottom 2 when you look up to the building, again a modern approach to a very traditional and all saying.
Culture – page 4 – this artwork represents unity, difference, and how about all those as people, as humans we still rise together. Along with being written in English, the word culture has been written in Sanskrit, Punjabi, Arabic, and Bengali. This artwork of mine is with special focus on India and how even though we are such a diverse country we are unified together on so many bases one of them being our culture, our religion, and backgrounds. The use of structure typography alongside hand handwritten codes on the photo is the contrast that I have achieved in this artwork
Creators of art – page 7 – this work is one of my biggest inspirations from David Carson. While I’ve been able to manipulate and use repetitive typography in this heart work alongside a very block font, on the other hand, I’ve been able to use I lose handwritten font to answer the very bored, strong an old-time question ‘who are we ‘. The child of the easel is a representation of all the future artists discovering who they are.
Eyes – page 8 – this is a completely modern-day edit, with the use of all Roman English font – that is the contrast. Otherwise, the bold use of red in both the images and the hand drawing along with Photoshop editing makes it a truly modern-day graphic design edit.
