In our session today we were partnered with people in our class, my partner was Rory. We were asked to look up the 'first things first' manifesto written by Ken Garland in 1964. This is what we found from a website:
The influence of the manifesto was quick to reach a wide audience and was picked up by The Guardian, which led to a TV appearance by Garland on a BBC news program and its subsequent publication in a variety of journals, magazines and newspapers. It was revisited and republished by a group of new authors in the year 2000 and labeled as the First Things First Manifesto 2000.'
We were then asked to come up with 5 points of a manifesto within our pair sharing our view on graphic design. These are our 5 points.
1. Design must be influenced from research
2. Conceptual design is key; There has to be reasons behind the design decisions
3. Design that is effective and sends a mesage to the correct target audience
4. Rules and restrictions should be set within the design.
(e.g limited use of type and colours)
5. To keep an open minded approach towards design, within the medium & processes.
