Renaissance Flyer

The Renaissance brought about a lot of stylistic changes. Manuscripts were extremely popular with the hand crafted borders which are displayed above. Also when writing a manuscript, usually, the first letter of the type will be decorated which is also shown above. There were decorative patterns and it was a time where people were exploring with type and how to get in into a machine, which is why there are circles and triangles as they were trying to figure out dimensions to their new type faces. 

Manifesto

We as designers have a huge influence on the world today. The impact we have on society is crucial. As we communicate through visual means, it makes our world more appealing through esthetics. We are not repetitive in what we do. We help create the impossible. We rebel against previous designs, and we are inspired through the past. As a designer we must trust ourselves, go with our gut instinct, for that is the best one. Although we could let our imagination run wild, we must reframe from that and stay within a set timeline. We must be aware of how our designs will affect the public. We have to be aware of any negative, and guide ourselves with the positive. To be a designer is to inspire others through visual means.
