The authors within each reading had various envisionments of their futures. Within ‘The Founding and Manifesto of Futurism’, he speaks on the progression of arts. How ridding of old methods and getting along with the new ways and forms of art. “Indeed daily visits to museums, libraries and academies (those cemeteries of wasted effort, calvaries of crucified dreams, registers of false starts!) is for artists what prolonged supervision by the parents is for intelligent young men, drunk with their own talent and ambition.” He strongly adjusted his portrayal of facilities and structures, and progress within the current and future methods.
“Who We Are: Manifesto of the Constructivist Group” is written quite poetic and concludes within its last lines “Everything came to a point. and “new” constructivists jumped on the bandwagon, wrote “constructive” poems, novels, paintings, and other such junk. Others, taken with our slogans, imagining themselves to be geniuses, designed elevators and radio posters, but they have forgotten that all attention should be concentrated on the experimental laboratories, which show us New elements routes things Experiments.”
As it forecasts the perspective of having whats available to us and what is to be focused on it whats to become of it and progress with the new. As the saying “out with the old and in with the new”.
“Notwithstanding the crises that book production is suffering, in common with other areas of production, the book glacier is growing year by year. The book is becoming the most monumental work of art: no longer is it something caressed only by the delicate hands of a few bibliophiles; on the contrary, it is already being grasped by hundreds of thousands of poor people. This also explains the dominance, in our transition period, of the illustrated weekly magazine” within the conclusion of El Lissitzky, Our Book, gives a glimpse of how the creation of books, from letter presses and progression, to now having such the simplicity of that art to see diminishing amongst time and the whereabouts and reality of where they are sourced to now.
Amongst the two readings, Language is something that forms a way of communication between individuals to come to some form and way to have understanding. Language can be produced, translated, mimicked in many forms such as gestures, speech, symbols etc. The distinction amongst languages and what’s considered proper would be more of a universal/common form of understanding, as per example roman numbers on a clock, tally marks, the basic use of numbers, etc. Another very universal language example is the symbol of a lady silhouette and man silhouette outside of restrooms to signal what gender facilities it is for. Symbols are related to language because its forms a visually communication for people to understand. Language plays a big role in design because it translates things within many ways and forms a ways to communicate amongst and across a large audience.
I’ve recorded this video over 10 times, that I had it scripted out in my head haha. I think I forgot to mention but I personally want to do within the degree of Communication Design, but I enjoy most of illustration, physical art work and structures, design work, packaging and typography. I would love to work within a publishing company such as magazines and comic books. A brand and company I’ve always admired, but its a bit tedious, Playboy. The origination and branding behind Playboy Magazine is very much appealing to me. Another quite opposite factor would be collectibles like toys, action figures, plushies. Brand examples would be like Funkopop, Sanrio, Disney. Design and packaging for toys, I always find myself always in the aisles at stores admiring colorful packaging, so to imagine myself being behind the design work, would be a dream.
