COTTONOPOLOIS TO DIGITOPOLOS – a celebration of Manchester’s Industrial Past and Digital Present and Future.

The walk helped to show how to research things visually using your surroundings. We watched and took photos of everything that we thought would help us with future modules and showed good design. 

We have to make something to show Manchester’s industrial revolution and showing all things that helped Manchester to evolve. 

Second blog! 

Requirements:

Title for the project

A stylesheet, to keep the visual theme to keep everything together

Logo designs 

3 themed posters that fit the project, make a series of posters (look into absolute vodka campaign)

A5 format leaflet/invite needs to be appealing to viewers but still functional

 An extended item, so anything we want to work on (Website, social media sites, etc.)
