MA visual summary

The visual summary is a synopsis of all the work processes,



developments, experiments I created during my journey on the MA

​

final project. It is a more visual publication than the report and

​

involve a lot of layout skills as well as written comments about

​

different developing stages, problems and improvements. Not every

​

failed experiment is a failure because from these stages you gain

​

experience as well which leads you further to a more appropriate

​

solution.



It is more or less a designed and clean version of a sketchbook.



The book-cover is made out of real wood which is dyed darker so that



the engrave laser cut/engrave typography comes out even stronger.

​

Binding: Hand made coptic bookbinding technique.

MA Report writing / History / Analysis

My final MA major project report is the theory behind my final



outcome. Research can be visual but also very complex and analytical.



There needs to be a reason for every step you do, every design decision



and choice in the various compositions, layouts, developments and



processes.



The format is a bit smaller than the A4 visual summery > A5.



The structure is a lot more detailed as there is more to read about and



less images. Theories such as Semiotics are used to explain the



relationship between text, image and symbols.



At this stage of reflecting my work, I actually found out about the real



purpose of my project which is CRAFT & PROCESS. It's was all about the



developments and stages until you finally reach your result.
