Biography Hi my name is Monica Sarai Lira, I am a design student at San Francisco State University. My designs mostly focuses on typography and functionality of the design making it convinient for the user to use. Using color, icons, differnet type styles to create different styles and an overal feeling.

Sir Joshua Reynolds PRA, Discourses VII, 1769

I wished you to be persuaded, that success in your art depends almost entirely on your own industry; but the industry which I principally recommend, is not the industry of the hands, but of the mind… We may go so far as to assert, that a painter stands in need of more knowledge than is to be picked off his pallet, or collected by looking on his model, whether it be in life or in picture. He can never be a great artist, who is grossly illiterate… He ought to know something concerning the mind, as well as a great deal concerning the body of man.

Book Design

Juxtaposition Problem

Using methaphors to create own interpretation of Viginia Wolfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stories to design a book, using imagery to illustrate the methaphor.

Solution

Created methaphors from own interpretations of Virginia Wolfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stories to design a book, that uses man-made items and nature in juxtaposion to illustrate the conflic between both.

Inspiration

Juxtaposition

Human vs. Nature Pictures While reading Wolfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stories, there was a lot of references to nature and human as a form of conflict. I wanted to show that in my images so I found inspiration in the juxtaposition of man made items and nature in how much impact and how beautiful they look combine together.

Book Layout Since the images were already goung to have a big impact for the reader I wanted my layout to be clean, simple and elegant to allow the imagery to shine. I found inspiration from these layouts in there use of white space and little text.

Iterations

Juxtaposition

Practice with layouts Finding a layout that will fit all the stories combine with the imagery was a fun process as we got to play with different fonts and pull quotes to find the right layout that would fit out methaphor.

THE MARK

on the Wall

A fraud of course, for the people who had this house before us would have chosen pictures in that way--

an old picture for an old room. That is the sort of people they were--very interesting people, and I think of them so often, in such queer places, because one will never

Perhaps it was the middle of January in the present year that I first looked

up and saw the mark on the wall. In order to fix a date it is necessary to remember what one saw. So now I think of the fire; the steady film of yellow light upon the page of my book; the three chrysanthemums in the round glass bowl on the mantelpiece. Yes, it must have been the winter time, and we had just finished our tea, for I remember that I was smoking a cigarette when I looked up and saw the mark on the wall for the first time. I looked up through the smoke of my cigarette and my eye lodged for a moment upon the burning coals, and that old fancy of the crimson flag flapping from the castle tower came into my mind, and I thought of the cavalcade of red knights riding up the side of the black rock. Rather to my relief the sight of the mark interrupted the fancy, for it is an old fancy, an automatic fancy, made as a child perhaps. The mark was a small round mark, black upon the white wall, about six or seven inches above the mantelpiece.

How readily our thoughts swarm upon a new object, lifting it a little way,

as ants carry a blade of straw so feverishly, and then leave it.... If that mark was made by a nail, it can’t have been for a picture, it must have been for a miniature-

see them again, never know what happened next. They wanted to leave this house because they wanted to change their style of furniture, so he said, and he was in process of saying that in his opinion art should have ideas behind it when we were torn asunder, as one is torn from the old lady about to pour out tea and the young man about to hit the tennis ball in the back garden of the suburban villa as one rushes past in the train.

But as for that mark, I’m not sure about it; I don’t believe it was made by a nail after

all; it’s too big, too round, for that. I might get up, but if I got up and looked at it, ten to one I shouldn’t be able to say for certain; because once a thing’s done, no one ever knows how it happened. Oh! dear me, the mystery of life; The inaccuracy of thought! The ignorance of humanity! To show how very little control of our possessions we have--what an accidental affair

get attached to one for life when Poll, who had said nothing, burst into tears. Poll, I must tell you, has always been queer. For one thing her father was a strange man. He left her a fortune in his will, but on condition that she read all the books in the London Library. We comforted her as best we could; but we knew in our hearts how vain it was. For though we like her, Poll is no beauty; leaves her shoe laces untied; and must have been thinking, while we praised men, that not one of them would ever wish to marry her. At last she dried her tears. For some time we could make nothing of what she said. Strange enough it was in all conscience. She told us that, as we knew, she spent most of her time in the London Library, reading. She had begun, she said, with English literature on the top floor; and was steadily working her way down to the _Times_ on the bottom. And now half, or perhaps only a quarter, way through a terrible thing had happened. She could read no more. Books were not what we thought them. “Books,” she cried, rising to her feet and speaking with an intensity of desolation which I shall never forget, “are for the most part unutterably bad!” Of course we cried out that Shakespeare wrote books, and Milton and Shelley. “Oh, yes,” she interrupted us. “You’ve been well taught, I can see. But you are not members of the London Library.” Here her sobs broke forth anew. At length, recovering a little, she opened one of the pile of books which she always carried about with her”From a Window” or “In a Garden,” or some such name as that it was called, and it was written by a man called Benton or Henson, or something of that kind. She read the first few pages. We listened in silence. “But that’s not a book,” someone said. So she chose another. This time it was a history, but I have forgotten the writer’s name. Our trepidation increased as she went on. Not a word of it seemed to be true, and the style in which it was written was execrable. “Poetry! Poetry!” we cried, impatiently. “Read us poetry!” I cannot describe the desolation which fell upon us as she opened a little volume and mouthed out the verbose, sentimental foolery which it contained. “It must have been written by a woman,” one of us urged. But no. She told us that it was written by a young man, one of the most famous poets of the day. I leave you to imagine what the shock of the discovery was. Though we all cried and begged her to read no more, she persisted and read us extracts from the Lives of the Lord Chancellors. When she had finished, Jane, the eldest and wisest of us, rose to her feet and said that she for one was not convinced. “Why,” she asked, “if men write such rubbish as this, should our mothers have wasted their youth in bringing them into the world?” We were all silent; and, in the silence, poor Poll could be heard sobbing out, “Why, why did my father teach me to read?” Clorinda was the first to come to her senses. “It’s all our fault,” she said. “Every

children. I venerated my mother for bearing ten; still more my grandmother for bearing fifteen; it was, I confess, my own ambition to bear twenty. We have gone on all these ages supposing that men were equally industrious, and that their works were of equal merit. While we have borne the children, they, we supposed, have borne the books and the pictures. We have populated the world. They have civilized it. But how that we can read, what prevents us from judging the results? Before we bring another child into the world we must swear that we will find out what the world is like.”

We want “ no more poetry ” So we made ourselves into a society for asking questions. One of us was to visit a man-of-war; another

was to hide herself in a scholar’s study; another was to attend a meeting of business men; while all were to read books, look at pictures, go to concerts, keep our eyes open in the streets, and ask questions perpetually. We were very young. You can judge of our simplicity when I tell you that before parting that night we agreed that the objects of life were to produce good people and good books. Our questions were to be directed to finding out how far these objects were now attained by men. We vowed solemnly that we would not bear a single child until we were satisfied. Off we went then, some to the British Museum; others to the King’s Navy; some to Oxford; others to Cambridge; we visited the Royal Academy and the Tate; heard modern music in concert rooms, went to the Law Courts, and saw new plays. No one dined out without asking her partner certain questions and carefully noting his replies. At intervals we met together and compared our observations. Oh, those were merry meetings! Never have I laughed so much as I did when Rose read her notes upon “Honor”and described how she had dressed herself as an Ethiopian Prince and gone aboard one of His Majesty’s ships. Discovering the hoax, the Captain visited her (now disguised as a private gentleman) and demanded that honor should be satisfied. “But how?”she asked. “How?” he bellowed. “With the cane of course!”Seeing that he was beside himself with rage and expecting that her last moment had come, she bent over and received, to her amazement, six light taps upon the behind. “The honor of the British Navy is avenged!”he cried, and, raising herself, she saw

him with the sweat pouring down his face holding out a trembling right hand. “Away!” she exclaimed, striking an attitude and imitating the ferocity of his own expression, “My honor has still to be satisfied!” “Spoken like a gentleman!” he returned, and fell into profound thought. “If six strokes avenge the honor of the King’s Navy,” he mused, “how many avenge the honor of a private gentleman?” He said he would prefer to lay the case before his brother officers. She replied haughtily that she could not wait. He praised her sensibility. “Let me see,” he cried suddenly, “did your father keep a carriage?” “No,” she said. “Or a riding horse!” “We had a donkey,” she bethought her, “which drew the mowing machine.” At this his face lighted. “My mother’s name” she added. “For God’s sake, man, don’t mention your mother’s name!” he shrieked, trembling like an aspen and flushing to the roots of his hair, and it was ten minutes at least before she could induce him to proceed. At length he decreed that if she gave him four strokes and a half in the small of the back at a spot indicated by himself (the half conceded, he said, in recognition of the fact that her great grandmother’s uncle was killed at Trafalgar) it was his opinion that her honor would be as good as new. This was done; they retired to a restaurant; drank two bottles of wine for which he insisted upon paying; and parted with protestations of eternal friendship. Then we had Fanny’s account of her visit to the Law Courts. At her first visit she had come to the conclusion that the Judges were either made of wood or were impersonated by large animals resembling man who had been trained to move with extreme dignity, mumble and nod their heads. To test her theory she had liberated a handkerchief of bluebottles at the critical moment of a trial, but was unable to judge whether the creatures gave signs of humanity for the buzzing of the flies induced so sound asleep that she only woke in time to see the prisoners led into the cells below. But from the evidence she brought we voted that it is unfair to suppose that the Judges are men. Helen went to the Royal Academy, but when asked to deliver her report upon the pictures she began to recite from a pale blue volume, “O! for the touch of a vanished hand and the sound of a voice that is still. Home is the hunter, home from the hill. He gave his bridle reins a shake. Love is sweet, love is brief. Spring, the fair spring, is the year’s pleasant King. O! to be in England now that April’s there. Men must work and women must weep. The path of duty is the way to glory” We could listen to no more of this gibberish. “We want no more poetry!” we cried. “Daughters of England!” she began, but here we pulled her down, a vase of water getting split over her in the scuffle.

“Thank God!” she exclaimed, shaking herself like a dog. “Now I’ll roll on the carpet and see if I can’t brush off what remains of the Union Jack. Then perhaps” here she rolled energetically. Getting up she began to explain to us what modern pictures are like when Castalia stopped her. “What is the average size of a picture?” she asked. “Perhaps two feet by two and a half,” she said.

Text Color When choosing the font color I was leaning towards having the text be black but it was too harsh againsts the imagery. I decided to just a dark grey for the body copy. For the chapter titles I combined a lighter grey with the darker grey to add hierarchy on the title. The few pull quotes through out the book are also in a lighter grey to differentiate from the body copy but still not overpowering the imagery

Photography Juxtaposition

Human vs. Nature Pictures To fit the metaphor I choose for Wolfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stories, I decided to take pictures of nature and man made items and combine them to create an interesting juxtaposition. Every image chosen has a little secrete message from each one of her stories.

Final Layouts Juxtaposition

Final Layouts For the final design layouts, I decided to keep all imagery full bleed and on one side of the page, and the text on the opposite side of the page. The body copy also has a bigger margin at the bottom, keeping in mind that most readers grab the book with their hands at the bottom, leaving this space gives the reader more comfort and it helps not to block the text with their fingers.

Poster Design

Manifestos Problem

Create a poster out of text while adding hierarchy, using different type styles to bring out meaning and personal interpretation of the text to create a stylistic hierarchy, as well as adding color to emphasis the structure to add focal points and flow.

Solution

Using a type family with variety allows different options to add hierarchy to the text as well as having different font sizes. Adding Color helps lead the eye and adds emphasis to the most important part of the poster.

Inspiration

Manifestos

Layout Inspiration These images help me find inspiration on how to separate the text to create that hierarchy and balance. Using different type styles and sizes are ways to create emphasis on what parts of the text you want the reader to see first and what they should read next.

Branding Manifestos

Font Type I wanted a type face that was san serif, bold, fun and has variation. Futura was the right choice for this poster because it has different type styles that can help add hierarchy and emphasis to different parts of the text as well as being san serif. It also looks great when it is used as a display type.

Color Choices While choosing colors for the poster I wanted colors that would add a Bold, fashionable look and feel to the poster. Red, white and black are a classic combination but adding a third color, such as the gold added the extra spark I was looking for. These colors added a great combination and it helped create focal points.

Poster Design

Time Problem

Using an small object, three colors and text, create a poster that displays the object in a simplified version using light and shadow to create a redux drawing of the object.

Solution

I picked a clock because it has nice curves and it can create nice shadows and highlights, I used bold contrasting colors to bring life to the poster.

Color Research Time

Colr Inspiration For the project in order fot their to be enough contrast between the shadows and light areas of the redux drawing choosing colors with high contrast and boldness was necessary.

Photos/Sketches Time

Object I chose a clock because I liked the curves it had and the shadows it created. I took various pictures to get the right angle of the clock to create an interesting composition.

Iterations

Time

Overall style After deciding on the angle and drawing the clock, it was time to play with color. First we had to just use black and white to see the difference between negative and positive space and get the important parts of the clock to make it abstract but still identify it as a clock.

Infinite

Time to move on the past does harm you make illusions but quickly become disillusioned. You know what has happened, but you choose not to know. You wonder what made you believe, what made you trust, You’ll find it and won’t let it go. It becomes an addiction, a devotion. Fight against it, and you shall lose. Because deep in you, you want it to be real. It shall hurt, be prepared. You can’t back out.

Running Dry

Running Dry

Californians are living through a slow-motion natural disaster, a four-year drought that is combining with record heat to challenge the state in unprecedented ways.

How the drought is forging a new California

By Carolyn Lochhead

The drought has brought California a decreased in crop production. Farmers are not able to feed both their families and thousands more with the small harvest they were able to produce.

At the height of the Dust Bowl years of the 1930s, 5.7 million people lived in California. We now number nearly 40 million, our lives made possible by cheap, abundant water. But now the landscape is changing, nowhere more so than in the Central Valley, where the competition for water between farms, nature and cities and towns is direct and acute. Reported over two months this spring, these stories show a California

Environment

Her garden is now dust

struggling with a relentless new reality whose dimensions are just beginning to come into view. EAST PORTERVILLE, Tulare County — Yolanda Serrato remembers the exact moment her tap went dry. It was 11 months ago. Serrato, 55, stood watering her lawn and palm trees around the home she and her husband bought in East Porterville, the harvest of a life’s work in the vineyards of Tulare County.

Their water came from a 60-foot well.Neighbors had already run out of water. But Serrato wasn’t worried. “I had a lot of pressure,” she said. “I thought, ‘I’m not going to run out of water.’ So I was watering my yard. My yard was green. In July, it was green, green. And all of a sudden, just air started to come out of the hose.” Disbelief ensued. Then panic. Then an awful new reality: Bathing from buckets hauled from outside. Family

visits to Burger King restrooms. The impossibility of financing a deeper well, the hopelessness of selling a house without water. Her garden is now dust. “Go to your house and turn off your water valve,” Serrato said. “You won’t last a day.” In the epic drama of California’s drought — the end of lawns, the end of fish, the end of farms — the one bright certainty is that California will never actually run out of water.

Maybe that’s true in the abstract, but water gets specific very fast when it’s your hose. As water grows scarcer, Californians must decide how to parcel out a shrinking inheritance. There will always be some water. How much is unknown. How it’s divided has consequences.

California is showing what climate change looks like, drier and hotter than anything modern humans have experienced. The four-year drought is the worst in the instrument record, and by tree-ring and other measurements, the worst in 1,200 years. Under the drought’s relentless force, the conflict among the state’s three primary water users — farms, cities and nature — is intensifying. Something has to give, and it is.Species are going extinct. Farmers are draining aquifers to stay in business. Thousands of people have lost their water sources — in Tulare County alone, officials report, 1,244 households’ wells had run dry by mid-May.Centurieslong mega-droughts of the Middle Ages are a preview of what’s to come, scientists say, giving pause to vague sureties that California will figure out a way, as it always has. “I think it’s scary,” said John Holdren, President Obama’s top science adviser. “There are some folks who are writing about this and saying, ‘You know we’ve always adjusted, we will adjust, it’ll be fine.’ But those adjustments don’t happen automatically, and they’re not cost-free.”

California engineered its way into existence, taking water from the wet north and delivering it to the drsouth through a maze of dams and aqueducts. That plumbing supports more people and a vastly bigger economy than when it was put together in the last century. With guarantees of water from that plumbing drying up, Californians are furiously draining groundwater, the state’s buffer against catastrophe. Jay Famiglietti, a senior water scientist with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, says satellite measurements show aquifers declining at a “frightening” speed. How much water is left in the aquifers, no one knows. But “it’s very difficult for people to even perceive that there’s a problem,” Famiglietti said — not when you look outside “and there’s plenty of green and water’s still flowing from the taps.”

The priciest water in California is no more than a penny a gallon. Primitive markets often are unable to send water from where it is squandered to where it is desperately needed. Water is being wasted to the sea, farmers say, as if rivers are not supposed to reach the ocean. What by all accounts is truly being wasted is the wastewater of coastal cities like San Francisco, whose residents use pure Sierra runoff to flush their toilets. “We discharge 1.5 million acre-feet of wastewater into the ocean,” said

Lester Snow, executive director of the nonprofit Water Education Foundation. “I resist the idea that the way we can better hose off our sidewalks in our cities is by taking agriculture out of production.”

Thousands of people have lost their water sources Environment

New World

A journey through the drought’s epicenter in the Central Valley turns up cliches and contradictions, and assumptions that someone else’s sacrifices will solve the problem. Some blame almond trees, which farmers are planting in abundance, saying each nut consumes a gallon of water. Yet presumably less wicked delicacies such as navel oranges do not spring from dry dirt. Nothing does. A glass of Chardonnay requires 18 gallons to produce, a cheeseburger nearly 700 gallons, the Sunday paper about 80.

The California Drought’s Lessons for Food Security By Ken Sofer

Despite the arrival of increased rain and snow from El Niño this winter, California enters the fifth straight year of its worst drought in 1,200 years. The drought has been especially acute in the state’s Central Valley, which ranges from extreme to exceptional drought. With its fer tile soil, moderate climate, and unparalleled irrigation system, the Central Valley is one of the most productive agricultural regions on the planet, producing nearly all of America’s almonds, olives, walnuts, and pistachios; the vast majority of its grapes, strawberries, avocados, carrots, tomatoes, and lettuce; and $13.1 billion wor th of milk and cattle. As a result of the drought, California’s 39 million residents are competing for fewer available

water resources. Water prices have spiked, increasing tenfold in some areas. The drought and the subsequent increased cost of water have led to declines in agricultural production across the state. According to the U.S. Depar tment of Agriculture, production of oranges 9%, avocados down 13%, garlic down 6%, romaine lettuce 15%, and olives 29% in down

cost California’s farmers $1.5 billion in 2014 alone due to the combination of revenue losses from lower production and additional pumping costs.

Dying Fish Misguided environmentalists worried about the endangered delta smelt are forcing farmers to fallow fields, politicians insist, but a lengthening line of bigger and lovelier fish like salmon and sturgeon are dying alongside the loathsome minnow that farmers blame for their woes. “If the smelt goes extinct,” said UC Davis fish biologist Peter Moyle, “you have five other listed fish that will

just move up the queue.” He counts 60 species of native California fish that may soon be eligible for listing as endangered or threatened. City dwellers say farmers should not be farming a desert, but do not suggest that the Bay Area be relocated somewhere wetter. Farmers say they have made the desert bloom to feed the nation, but that desert was once a vast seasonal wetlands and

prairie, remembered in books as “the American Serengeti” before its water was cut off.

Cities Sprawl Agriculture’s permanent tree and vine crops are blamed for “hardening” water demand because they cannot be fallowed during droughts. But lying in plain sight is the biggest permanent

crop of all: people in burgeoning cities sprawling over floodplains and foothills, with plans for more. Highway 99 runs like a Maginot Line through Modesto, where California Farm Bureau President Paul Wenger and others battle to keep the malls and subdivisions from spilling over to the prime farmland, including his walnut groves.“Once there’s houses on it, they’re going to have water,”

Wenger said. “Those people expect water to come out of their tap.” Yolanda Serrato was once like everyone else in such houses, taking for granted that the tap would always provide. Now her water comes from a tank hooked up to her house’s system, and she speaks with newfound scorn of a neighbor who is “always washing the cement with the hose. She has a really big well. She thinks she’s not going to

run out of water like we are.”Serrato refused to believe, against all evidence, that her well could go dry. She didn’t know the name of the Tule River that it tapped. Both are now dry, and she has discovered the one uncontested truth of an arid land: “Water. It’s a necessity.”Most Californians are still standing where she was with her hose last summer.
