This is an image of the world I designed using watercolor painting that I handmade on my ipad.

On our first day of our masters program we were assigned a group of six and asked to mind-map what we all had in common. We explored many possibilities but the one that stood out was that we all enjoyed historical visual culture of some kind. Some of us enjoyed the culture of our homes and some of us enjoyed the cultures of foreign lands.

Knowing that our goal of our agency project was to help the planet in some way we came up with the idea that as an agency we wanted to help preserve visual cultures that are at risk of being forgotten. We want to preserve and record visual material history using design as our medium and we want to design the historical information in a way that would make it more engaging and interactive. This manifesto was our creed and our underlying thought for the rest of the semester.
