Project Synopsis: ‘City in Flux’ Promoting research, creative thinking, experimentation, semiotics and visual narrative.
age
Project/Assessment Requirements: You are required to research into the visual language of the City, how imagery, artifacts, sounds and ephemera of all kinds bombard the senses with visual messages and experiences. In the first instance you should demonstrate your ability to select suitable subject matter for translation into visual experiments. Your initial research should reference, Artists, Designers, Writers, Poets, Film-makers, who have used the City as influence in their work. This visual research should take the form of traditional or virtual sketchbooks. Your research can either be static, moving image, internet, installation or a mixture of all. You should be able to demonstrate multiple ideas and emply a range of media and methods appropriate to the demands of the project. You should be able to justify ideas and be able to discrimate between strong and weak ideas/concepts. Your research will need to be conceptually led and you should be prepared to present and justify your research. You should undertake research methodologies and annotate your finding rather than slavishly using Google images.
Your research should evidence a deep understanding of the project and you should be prepared to debate and explain your research. Communication is top of the agenda and you should be able to justify and critically reflect on your research. Care should be taken in the preparation and presentation of ytour research, as this is a major part of the brief. The research should be presented in logical format and should be annotated. Any photo’s used in research work which are not your own must be credited.

In my project of City in Flux, I wanted to be able to come up with many various sub-themes as to how You should document all stages of the development I could approach this project with trying to think of process. one main idea in which I can work on to develop my idea. Within doing this I asked family members and flat friends to answer a short question, “What do you think of when you think City?” I got many various aswers, proving a point of everyone thinks differerntly, so I decided to look into everything they said the things that excited me and made me think more, I developed my research on and created a page for them, some with a lot more information than others however I wanted to see what inspired me more, I didn’t want to take the first root with what I originally thought of, however that is in my research. I wanted to come up with an idea that contained a bit of what everyone thinks. I wanted to make the first project exciting for me and to keep myself motivated, mixing in my different modules to help me link in what I am being taught in other study sessions.

B rainpickings: What Makes A Great City. P 4 age
This quote is taken from the article ‘What makes a great city: E.B. White on the poetics of New York written by Maria Popova, I feel this quote fits in perfectly with the bried as it shows the emotions, feelings and thoughts of an everyday person, walking through the city.
“
A great city is like a great love- it makes you feel closer to your own centre, envelops you in its immutable and caring magic, and no matter how far from it you may travel it always beckons you with steadfast unshakable mesmerism, but what makes a great city? Scholars, social, scientists and urban planners have pondered the question for centuries pointing to everything from walkability to the social life of small urban spaces.
”
Further on in the article Maria goes on to say...
This passage makes me feel different forms of emotion as I can reflect this into my own project, “New York blends the gift of privacy with excitement of participation” this “A emphasis how their are two GREAT CITY IS LIKE sides to everything even in a A GREAT LOVE” ‘concrete jungle’ there is a lot of New York blend the gift of privacy with the privacy hidden behind the bricks excitement of participation; and better than most and stones, however it has so many people lives on dense communities it succeeds in insulating the show for example, Times Square has various street individual (if he wants it, and almost everybody artists and people that “NEW YORK wants or needs it) against all enormous and violent open up their lives to BLENDS THE GIFT and wonderful events that are taking place every others another OF PRIVACY WITH THE minute... New York is peculiarly constructed to example of this is, EXCITEMENT OF absorb performers on the PARTICIPATION” almost anything that comes along (whether a thoustage, the famous sand food liner out of the East or a twenty thousand Broadway, many artists man convention out of the West) without inflicting performing on Broadway have a blurb about the event on its inhabitants so that every event is in themselves and their “NEW YORK a sense, optional, and the inhabitant is in the happy lives within a IS PECULIARLY position of being able to choose his spectacle and programme, their lives CONSTRUCED TO so conserve his soul. are then exposed ABSORB ALMOST via social ANYTHING THAT networking such as COMES ALONG” Twitter and Facebook in which audiences can go and follow them and see what they do on a day to day basis.

B rainpickings: The London Jungle Book. P 5 age
“
“
I started to feel something strange, it’s a feeling I call 50-50, half and half... The mixture of pleasure and pain you feel when you leave home and set out to travel to an unkown place.
“
In 1988, at the age of sixteen young Bhajju left his small village in the forests of Central India and went to the city of Bhopal looking for work. He got a job as a night watchman... His work was eventually included in a significant 1998 exhibiton of indigenous art in Paris. The two months he spent in London became his real-life version of Alice in Wonderland.
”
I feel that we are seeing what could only be described as an alien moving to the planet earth, every little simple thing has been described in a relatable journey, as we have all had a part in our life of feeling lost. Personally this “EVERYONE story out of the 4 articles I chose IS A to read affected me the most as FOREIGNER” I could relate to it as being a real human with a real adventure.
”
I relate to the words travel on this main part of the article, if you have ever travelled wether that being to the next village or to the other side of the world, “IT WAS you will always feel ONLY WHEN overpowered WE LANDED THAT by a city and I REALISED HOW intimidated as it DIFFERENT IT WAS shows you a part FROM INDIA” of the world you haven’t explored yet. Some people feel to nervous to do this as its not somewhere theu are familiar and trust but some
“YOUNG BHAJJU LEFT HIS SMALL VILLAGE IN THE FORESTS OF CENTRAL INDIA”
It was only when we landed that I realised how different it was from India. The officials were friendly, eveyone stood in neat lines and even though there were so many people around, it was quiet. Almost like someone had ordered everyone not to speak loudly. And most importantly the sounds I heard coming from the people around me didn’t mean anything to me. Eeyone was a foreigner- all kinds of skin colours and all kinds of hair. I had seen foreigners before some of them had visited my village to look at our paintings, but now I realised that something strange had happened. My colour was different, my language was taken away from me... I myself had become a foreigner!!
”
What gets me most emotional throughout this paragraph is that no more who you are nowadays your classes as a foreigner, it could be something as simple as being from North England vs South England, it starts as a joke or ‘banter’ between people saying they are a foreigner, but then it is now used against people that come over to work in England is turning into racial issues, some people dont mean the word in a racial way but sometimes it can be taken quite offensively.
B rainpickings: Walt Whitman’s Raunchy ode to nyc. P 6 age
“
Gotham dating back to 1650 and featuring such luminaries as Mark Twain, Helen Keller, Henry Miller, F.Scott Fitzgerald and dozens more, edited buy Barbara Cohen, Seymour Chwast and Steven Hellers - comes a succulent love letter to the city from 48 year old Walt Whitman.
”
This is a blurb before a love poem written by many of the artists listed above it was written in 1867 with a theme of “Primal Joy” mainly written by Walt Whitman and his feelings and emotions towards the city he then goes on to write...
“
Keep your splendid silent sun, Keep your words, O’ Nature and the quiet places by the woods, Keep your fields of clover and timothy, And your corn-fields and orchards. Keep the blossoming buckwheat fields where the Ninth-month bees hum; Give me faces and streets - give me these phantoms incessant and endless along the trotters! Give me interminable eyes - give me women - give me comrades and lovers by the thousand! Let me see new ones every day - let me hold new ones by the hand every day! Give me such shows - give me the streets of Manhattan!
”
I feel this poem explains the different sides to the city you see,”the “GIVE ME THE various faces” the different STREETS OF nationalities and the different MANHATTAN” people you will face every day however you don’t understand their lives, from this I take an idea of identity. Everything owns an idnetity, computers “COMES have an IP Address, mobile A SUCCULENT phones have a numLOVE LETTER TO have ber, us as humans THE CITY” our own passports in which we have a passport number/NI number/NHS number, everything nowadays is in “GIVE ME coding and numbers, so that FACES everyone and everything has AND STREETS” an identity. The way it challenges the fields vs the streets of Manhattan, is inspiring and making me want to challenge the revolutions of the farming buisness vs the industrial revolution.
B rainpickings: How To Stretch Our Capacity. P 7 age
“
Montaigne believe that meditations is the finest excercise of one’s mind and David Lynch uses it as an anchor of his creative integrity.
” “
Sam Harris argues that cultivating the art of presence is our greatest gateway to true happiness, after his extensive, decades long empirical romp through the world’s major religious traditions.
”
I feel that within this first sentence which opens up the article it shows that with excercising the brain “MEDITATION TELLS activity such as for an US NOTHING process and production ABOUT THE ORIGINS to keep calm we need OF THIS UNIVERSE” ourselves out and take of the situation and we can open our minds to all new oppurtunities.
I feel that even reading this article before thinking up of a project “OUR CONVENTIONAL makes me feel more calm and SENSE OF SELF collective and opens up IS AN my brain to more ideas ILLUSION” to flow through and get me started on my creative process.
“
Although the insights we can have in meditation tell us nothing about the origins of this universe, they do confirm some well-established truths about the human mind: Our conventional sense of self is an illusion; positive emotions, such as compassion and patience, are teachable skills; and the way we think directly influences our experience of the world.

O tto Eckmann P 8 age
“
Otto Eckmann was a German painter and graphic artist, he was a prominent member of the “Floral” branch of Jugendstil. He created the Eckman typeface, which was based in Japanese Calligraphy. Otto Eckmann was born in Hamburg, Germany in 1865, however he passed away at the age of 46.
” Otto famously designed books, covers and intials for numerous publishing houses, including E.A. Seemannn. His most famous typefaces (right) I feel is an amazing font for Calligraphy and for a book theme, however it probably won’t fit in that well with a Citythem however if I do go down the revolution idea this font will work well with the traditional village theme.
&
Tom Purvis Tom Purvis is a British painter and commercialposter artist, who was around the same time as Otto Eckmann, he took a different approach at design compared to Otto, as Otto studies mainly typographic design, where as Tom focuses on advertising. He worked for Mather and Crowther for six years, before he turned into a freelance designer, he worked with bold flat colours so then he could detail the imagery more, the image below is for a savings committee designed in 1940, just 19 years before his passing. I could corporate this into my concepts by desiging postcards, in this style with flat bold colours that is two dimensional. I feel I could recreate this poster by line drawing a photgraph I’ve taken and using acrylic paint to get a similar design.
S tefan Sagmeister P 9 age
Stefan Sagmeister is a graphic designer based in New York, he is a lettering artist and is the co-founder of Sagmesiter & Walsh inc. He is currently still working at the age of 52 in America however he was originally born in Breganz, Austria. His main image which made me want to look into his work is this image which he designed for Lou Reed’s album cover, it’s a pictuure of the artist with many words written across his face and it looks like new style graffiti. This inspires me if I go down the identity route as I feel that if everyone has an identity can’t we challenge the stereotypes? I could work this by photographing people close up and far away and then scanning it in, layering and disorting the image. I want to test this and challenge myself however by photographing other images such as food, drink and buildings.

Mark Wigan became a subject leader of illustration in 1993, at the Camberwell College in the UK, he then went on to become a lecturer of illustration at Hull College, UK. He has written many books such as: ‘Thinking visually for illustrators’ This one book alone with 184 pages discusses everything from getting started to a career in illustration. It shows many aspects such as diverse visual language, techniques, skills, context and ideas. Many illustrators have also written their own personal experiences through visual language. I personally am using Mark Wigan to help me with the theory side to Graphic Design as he challenges every aspect and looks at illustration and Graphics from every angle.

B auhaus P 12 age
Bauhaus is an art school based in Germany, which consists of three different building, Weimar, Dessau and Berlin based schools. They started being created in 1919 with the first one being Weimar, last school based in Berlin was closed in 1933. Bauhaus, also knowm as the house of construction only lasted for 14 years. Weimar: 1919-1925.
Dessau: 1925-1932
Berlin: 1932-1933.
This school of Art was founded by Walter Gropius in 1919 as it became a merger of two local schools, Grand Ducal School of Arts & Graphics and the Weimar Academy of Fine Arts. In 1919 after delays caused by the destruction of WW1 after a very long debate they tried to decide who would be best to run the institution, they finally decided on Gropius as the new director.
Gropious’ design for the Dessau facilities was a return to the futuristic Gropius of 1914, Gropius decided it would be best to design the new building, styled around the ‘Fagus Factory’ he then turned to close friend and colleague Hannes Meyer, who eventually went on to be the director of Dessau in 1928. Only 2 buildings still exist of Dessau to this day, ‘Five apartment buildings in the city of Dessau’ and ‘The Headquarters of the federal school of the German Trade Unions in Bernau’ She ended up creating a lot of conflict and many artist/lecturers went on to resign from the schools as they didn’t agree with any of Meyer’s programmes. Dessau city council attempted to get Gropius to come back and run the school however he suggested Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.
In late 1932 Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, wemt on to rent a factory in Berlin, to use as another form of Bauhaus with his own money. The school operated for 10 months before the Nazi Party got involved in the way the Berlin school was ran. In 1933, the Getsapo closed down the Berlin Bauhaus however Mies protested and spoke to the head of Gestapo. Mies then agreed it could be closed and stepped down after Nazi writers, ‘Wilhelm Frick’ and ‘Alfred Rosenberg’ labelled the school ‘Un-German’ the school finally closed in April 1933.
O ptical Illusions P 13 age
P ropaganda P 14 age
Propaganda was used world wide during the war, to influence and communication with the public that were back at home. They use to say things to help sell going into the War and promoting it. They use to make it sound good and exciting and then they would challenge the other countries by making them look evil, obviously no phones were used during the war so people could only be told things through media such as newspapers and posters so people were only believeing what they were told. They would show hard-hitting imagery that showes colour to represent countried, mainly with French and Great Britain they would use red, blue and white to show their flags through posters. Many posters showed females being out and working, being strong and independent as they did the male roles as they were out in the war. The most famous world war poster was the one below which was recognised to get men and young boys to sign up for the army, designed by Alfred Lette in 1914, he designed and illustrated Lord Kitchener to be placed on the poster on behalf of the British Secretary of State for War.

Many companies use slogans as a form of marketing for example, Mcdonalds famous slogan is... i’m lovin it. If they were to do a radio jingle in which you can’t see their famous logo they would say there slogan and people would know instantly what the brand is that is “A SLOGAN trying to market a product. IS A MEMORABLE famous slogan Another MOTTO!” is ‘just do it’ by Nike. With this slogan they put it on their clothing ranges such as hoodies and bags, so people know it is a nike bag without the famous logo. The majority of companies when producing their company come up with 2 main aspects of Graphic Design. A logo, a slogan/strap-line. The one featured on the left is the process of Subway, world wide, fast food restaurant that serves freshly prepared sandwiches.

S mall Capitals P 16 age

Kate Gibb is a London based Graphic Designer that works with silk-screen and illustration, originally working and trained wiith printed textiles, she then found love in colour and pattern and started working with illustration, she has gone on to work with music related album cover artwork, famously she has worked for companies such as; Apple, Sony, Nike, Panasonic and many more companies which you can find listed on her website... www.kategibb.co.uk working with silk screen and scanning in her work can help her to layer her work and create different imagery from single visuals. Her most famous piece of work she created is the one featured top right, it is called ‘work in progress’ this one caught my eye the most as it links in with my section of research call process and production I like seeing work half finished as I feel it will show the best quality of work when it is half finished, the products used to create an image give more of an effect compared to when an image is fully painted in my eyes.

Peter Kennard Peter Kennard is a form of photographer based in London, UK. He used a technique called ‘photomontage’ in which you get a photo and layer it on with other photo’s and create a whole new image. He is a senior tutor of photography at the Yoral College of Art, his most famous work is his collection called ‘@earth’ in which it shows items such as gas masks covering the earth, it shows powerful messages and everyone takes away different opinions on the for example my own personal statement towards the image is that its showing how the earth needs to wear a gas mask due to all the CO2 emissions being produced and all the other dangerous gases polluting our skies, it shows missiles of gas coming out of the mouth which symbolises there is more gas being produced than the earth can commit to. His work is influenced from artists such as Picasso, Sutherland and Giacometti. He has gone on to write 5 book; No nuclear weapons, Unwords, images for the end of the century, domesday book and his most recent autobiography, dispatches from an unofficial war artist. He sells his work online at his website... http://www.peterkennard.com/main/ sales_gallery/salesgallery_set.htm

I wanted to test different fabrics by mood boarding and getting inspiration from different materialistic items and see in which way I could take my project book, First I wanted to start with fabrics to see how items have changed in the industry and how they can be changed so easily with different consistencies and types of thread. Moving onto paints, I want to try many different forms of ink such as acrylic, watercolour and water based paints. I want to try different fine liner strengths and different graphic bright pens to work out what could work well through a trial and error process. I want to then test strings and ribbon to see whatI could possibly get out of using strings, I also want to scan in different wallpapers to be able to use as backgrounds for my work, this has been inspired by the 1920’s book cover designs, which I saw within an illustration book. I then went onto testing parrafin wax with a stamp, I was inspired to do this from the Harry Potter films as they use wax and stamps to seal envelopes. My final testing I want to try is modelling craft wire into relevant shapes.

I feel Architecture fits into the project ‘City of Flux’ as it is a main theme of what you see throughout various cities. The way you can tell that the cities are more modernised is when the structure looks more modernised for example the bottom hand left picture taken from the architect weekly magazine, shows that the newer upcoming cities have stranger building structure. This photo is taken inspired by Bauhaus’ structural systems. The photo in which I took the bottom right hand side image is also from ‘Architect Weekly’ which I wanted to compare to the Bauhaus inspired building. The photograph was taken in Turkey which up until 1980’s, they didn’t modernise any of their buildings the old style barchitecture which was built in the 16th Century, features main shapes such as circles, squares and triangles and nothing much else to it, it was built out of marble and stone to keep it strong and last a long time without remodeling. New stone ‘Red Brick’ used on common housing estates in the UK as it’s cheap and effective on new builds however within 10 years, owners find it breaking away and it may need repointing and other common problems in which it needs extending or replacing. For looking into different forms of Architecture I have mainly used the website... http://www.architectweekly.com I feel that this is the best website for all my different comparisons on new and older buildings.

Dubai has changed a lot in the past 30 years, it’s construction industry is now one of the most proficient in the world, and most buildings appear to hold some Record Breaking title, from World’s Tallest Building (Burj Khalifa), to the most luxurious hotel (Burj Al Arab). It’s no surprise then that, due to the endless amounts of money and investment available, architects are able to try out new groundbreaking designs, with limited risk. Architect Dr. David Fisher, Founder of Dynamic Architecture has envisaged a slightly different future for the construction industry in Dubai, than what can currently be seen. He sees a way for buildings and skyscrapers to be able to become self reliant, constantly changing, and all whilst providing the comfort and home necessities that Dubai’s elite have come to expect. The firms latest innovation, known simply as ‘Dynamic Tower’, is a 80 floor, 420 metres high skyscraper, which is capable of generating it’s own electricity via the output of 48 wind turbines mounted between each floor level. Our only concern would be how loud these wind turbines actually are, as the ferocious desert winds flow through the building.

http://www.architectweekly.com/2014/03/a-selfsustaining-and-rotating.html
I feel that over the past Decade, Dubai has become more famous for its amazing Architecture including buildings such as 'Rotating Skyscraper' (see left) and The 'Burj al Arab' (see right). These two buildings got into the news as soon as it was announced they were being made, noone could believe that they could create a rotating skyscraper, and the 'Burj Al Arab' was the tallest at the time building created by Tom Wright and Carlos Ott. It has over 200 bedrooms and has a helipad on top of the hotel so many various people can fly into the hotel. The Rotating skyscraper was designed by David Fisher in, 2008 however David released a statement in 2009, saying the building would be ready in 2010. As to date it still hasnt started being constructed as they want to keep it a surprise where the building will be. Many people are arguing as the building will stand at 80 floors high, so many people are stating 'How can it be hidden from us'.

Christ knows what they then termed these expanses of sand - intermediate sewage buffers, I suppose - but in any case it disposed of the problem without either solving it or costing the Exchequer a penny, which is, of course the main thing, or in the case of the present Goverment, the only thing.

The reason I looked into studying the ‘Badside to Blackpool’ was because I was reading through a book from the photographer ‘Martin Parr’ who’s work I studied in A-Level’s as he is a satire photographer and blogger. He released a book called ‘Photographs’ in which it is all postcard styled images of photo’s around British seaside resorts. I then went onto to get more information and found an article by Vice News... http://www.vice.com/rule-britannia/blackpool--23), which was released in 2009. A group wemt arpimd amd fo;,ed a sjprt seroes ca;;ed ‘Rule Britannia’ and one documentaru was based in Blackpool, it showed the workers and they gave their honest opinons and views on Blackpool. As i’m also from Blackpool I know and understand the sides of Blackpool workers, and the things you dont see. I wanted to be able to interview workers and the people that live in Blackpool as ‘Vice’ have inspired me to, and show my own side of living in Blackpool. The things you see when you go back five streets from the sea front, I wanted to go with a satire feel, I then found a book by the author, Bill Bryson he wrote a chapter in his book ‘Notes from a small island’ about his travelling to the UK in which he visited Blackpool. As a traveller he understood it’s not all fun and games.

Farming begun over 13,000 years ago, with animals starting to be used within farming over 10,000 years ago. It first originated in western asia and it still happens today with the largest farm being in Saudi Arabia which owns 37,000 cows. The largest farming buisness is call smithfields in America, which has over 1,200,555 sows. There are many different variations of farming in which i’m not aware of however with my research I read up on:

Intensive farming uses heavy uses of fertilizers. Whippletree uses horse pulling. Crop rotation is shown top left. Mechanised Agriculture was introduced in 1940. Argricultural Machinery uses tractors.

Fashion is constantly changing in the city, originally in the 16th Century women wore a certain style outfit which keeps them covered up and looking modest (see top left). Through the centuries they got more stylish (Middle left). By 1900’s the patterns stopped and a plain style came about experimenting which colours and patterned fabric became cheaper and affordable for people to make their own clothes so a lot of people that lived in poverty or to dave monmey for their families benefit. As we have reached the 2000’s clothes have got less modest with thousands more designers being released everyday women are now objectified due to their fashion sense which is on sale around the world. Britney Spears (bottom right), struck critiscism when she dressed as a schoolgirl for her hit music video ‘hit me baby one more time...’ which had millions of copies sold however her age range of listeners at the time was around 8years old-14 years old females. People put in complaints in the thousands and it struck media and dicided the way people thought however, since then we have been released to more objectifying from the way Fashion is changing by Miley Cyrus (middle right), who wanted her appearance to be dramatically changed by cutting off 24” from her hair, performing naked and in hardly any clothes as she thinks you should be allowed to dress how you like. Many cities host a clothing show of fashion week every year such as Milan, Paris, New York and London in which many A-Listers and fashion designers are incited and are now streamed live over the internet to get the hottest season trends.

I have decided that throughout my coursework the main artist that has inspired me is Stefan Sagmeister, I find his work interesting and unusual as I have never come across work like this before, I then feel the most interesting article which I have found, was by ‘Vice’ news team, in which it shows a Badside to Blackpool, I feel that because I am from there, I see a different side to a town, as it is only small we see various identites. I wanted to take the approah of studying different forms of mental health within the city. In a different article I have found it shows that Mental Health in Blackpool has risen highly with it having the highest records for Depression, with 1 in every 5 over 18 suffering with it in 2012. However the percentage of over 18’s with learning difficulties has stayed the same for the past 3 years with a 0.57% of people suddereing, this is 3rd in the country however it is partnered up with Salford, Stetton and Halton. I want to show a different approach as mental health isnt taught in schools, it was recently discovered that a ten year old child contemplated suicide, how does the child know how to do this without being shown, the child was born with mental issues, and should be addressed accordingly. I feel that with a background of mental health within myself and my family I could portray it in a different approach by creating companies and promitional items.
