Manifesto

a public declaration of policy and aims, especially one issued before an election by a political party or candidate.

An art manifesto is a public declaration of the intentions, motives, or views of an artist or artistic movement. Manifestos are a standard feature of the various movements in the modernist avant-garde and are still written today. Art manifestos are mostly extreme in their rhetoric and intended for shock value to achieve a revolutionary effect. They often address wider issues, such as the political system. Typical themes are the need for revolution, freedom (of expression) and the implied or overtly stated superiority of the writers over the status quo. The manifesto gives a means of expressing, publicising and recording ideas for the artist or art group even if only one or two people write the words, it is mostly still attributed to the group name.

The first art manifesto of the 20th century was introduced with the Futurists in Italy in 1909, and readily taken up by the Vorticists,Dadaists and the Surrealists after them: the period up to World War II created what are still the best known manifestos. Although they never stopped being issued, other media such as the growth of broadcasting tended to sideline such declarations. Due to the internet there has been a resurgence of the form, and many new manifestos are now appearing to a potential worldwide audience. The Stuckistshave made particular use of this to start a worldwide movement of affiliated groups.

Manifestos typically consist of a number of statements, which are numbered or in bullet points and which do not necessarily follow logically from one to the next. Tristan Tzara's explanation of the manifesto (Feeble Love & Bitter Love, II) captures the spirit of many:

A manifesto is a communication made to the whole world, whose only pretension is to the discovery of an instant cure for political, astronomical, artistic, parliamentary, agronomical and literary syphilis. It may be pleasant, and good-natured, it's always right, it's strong, vigorous and logical. Apropos of logic, I consider myself very likeable.

The Communist Manifesto   also known as Das Kommunistische Manifest, originally titled Manifesto of the Communist Party, is a short 1848 publication written by the political theorists Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. It has since been recognized as one of the world's most influential political manuscripts. Commissioned by the Communist League, it laid out the League's purposes and program. It presents an analytical approach to the class struggle and the problems of capitalism, rather than a prediction of communism's potential future forms.

The Futurist Manifesto, written by the Italian poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, was published in the Italian newspaper Gazzetta dell'Emilia in Bologna on 5 February 1909, then in French as "Manifeste du futurisme" in the newspaper Le Figaro on 20 February 1909. It initiated an artistic philosophy, Futurism, that was a rejection of the past, and a celebration of speed, machinery, violence, youth and industry; it was also an advocation of the modernisation and cultural rejuvenation of Italy.

Group 1 Manifesto

We had to choose a person and then do research about his/her contribution to modern design and communication. We chose Scott Fisher who is a Professor and chairman of the Interactive Media Divission in the USCSchool of Cinematic Arts in Southern California. Scott Fischer was born on 24 December, 1955 in Michigan, USA. He is an artist and technologist who has worked extensively on virtual reality. His field of interest includes Art & Media Technology, Immersive Virtual Environments & Technologies of Presince. His contribution to modern design is all about bringing  3D art to life and enhance human living condition through technology and making the lives of others better.

3D is The Future

We the undergraduate graphic design of mgi believe that although 3d is the future we still require the fundamental skills of drawing , digital design, typography, storyboards, history of graphic design and communication science. If analyzed carefully one will come to the realization that the above listed are prerequisites of 3d.

Even in modern day life we are constantly exposed to 3d use. From the tender age of 2 to the seasoned of 70 3d is used to keep our level of entertainment at a constant high.

Lets take anime for example, vitual effects are implemented to contrast a realistic effect, thus bring the cartoon to life.  You get anime for all ages. For little children, there are cartoons such as Digimon for adolescences, transformers, for young adults, high school of the dead and so forth.

We the undergraduate graphic design of mgi have also come up with a hypothesis stating that this up rise with the fascination of 3d animation is that it give us the illusion of reality, a certain accessibility to our imagination, a gateway into a new world.

Another example would be the movie avatar, the reason being that human are unsatisfied with society’s person of the world and humans and existence as a whole. Mankind is enthralled with the idea that “we are not alone”.

The religious believe in the existence of the spiritual realm; whether it is angels, demons or a significant higher power. The science fictional chooses to delve more in the existence of aliens, extra-terrestrials and other paranormal activity.

Our conclusion is that we love 3D and everything its made up of.
