#art vs design

[s-h47]

COMPULSORY QUESTION 1

For our class activity, we were split into groups and were assigned to create our own manifesto as designers. Our group's manifesto as a whole is to manifest what makes a person a designer in our design practices. We each wrote and included each of our own manifestos, as well as illustrations that highlight our own personality.

My written manifesto is 'Design or Art?'. Designs have to solve problems, while art should provoke thought and emotions. Designers work for others with a data-driven or mathematical process for a solution, while artists work intuitively using their instincts. Art is perceptual, while design is rational.

An Artist is a person who produces or creates art using conscious skill and creative imagination.

Designer is a person who visualizes a concept that is in the abstract form and prepares the blueprint.

Another manifesto I would consider would be "One day or day one". I discovered that quote recently and it also is relevant to me this semester since there is a bunch of assignments to do and it is easy to get burned out and procrastinate. In fact, it is so relevant to me now that I even used the quote for my digital skills assignment for the 45-second video.

(Art vs design manifesto is my written manifesto for this activity)

A change I would potentially make for the group outcome is to maybe include a more visually appealing and definite illustration in the overall manifesto as I think we are mainly just doing a bunch of wordplay and fonts. For example, "Sleeping at 5am is not normal". can have a visual representation of a tired person with the clock showing 5am to enhance the overall impact of the theme and people can easily tell what it is about been without reading the whole thing. Since our whole idea is what makes a designer a designer we could have formed a more unique visual statement.

The most significant aspect of CTS-B for me was the filming of connecting practice with society. I liked the filming aspect of the activity where we highlight the importance of design in modern society. I personally love analyzing the different contexts and symbolism. There is a reason for everything and I love studying the different techniques and thought processes behind each nuance and reference in a person's design choices.

(my video about one day or day one highlights procrastination as the main topic)

When it comes to my design practices and modules, I often explore themes such as self-discovery or the determination to find meaning in life I think by exploring many varieties of design choices, I get a chance to find connections between the people around me and their environments but also how I relate to them in return so I can apply appropriate design choices as a designer and not as an artist.

Aventurine's backstory got me curious to learn more about the Romani people so I did some light research and found out that Flamenco dancing is Romani in origin, which is really neat and really obvious once you know tbh!
