Communist Manifesto


2024


A UWE (University of the West of England) project; produce a publication using text connected to another book (in this case ‘Capitalism Realism’ M. Fisher, 2009). Design the publication in a way demonstrating my understanding of it. 


My focus within this project was to capture the loud, absolute, universal nature of both the Communist Manifesto (the text I would be working with in the publication) and Capitalism Realism – both books spoke to the masses – loudly – and both wanted to be interpreted on a global scale. I believed a focus on legibility, clean layouts and impact focused design would solve this problem well. The style was influenced by ‘Typo’ (W. Marti, 1957) and ‘Layout’ (G. Ambrose, 2005), the publication aimed at a global audience – the outcome was one landscape, B5, spiral bound publication. This task served to teach me about layout, type and colour.
