I struggled at first with this design as I didn't want it to look too similar to something I've already designed but I had struggled with what could visually represent the manifesto point 'read' that wasn't a book. In the end I decided to go with books, even though this is obvious I feel it was the best way to display it.
I collected some books that I thought would look visually interesting for the design and took various photos arranging them in different ways. I then needed to add text, using a selection of quotes that highlight the positivity of reading.
After playing around with layout and looking at different ways I could position the image to best suit the text, I rotated one of the photographs 90 degrees as I thought this looked better in terms of a poster. I then needed to see where text would be best positioned and also what quotes would be best, I think the more text with the image the better the final outcome will be. Te three/four quotes I want to use would be from Proust, dr seuss and gustave flaubert.
I think Flaubert is really appropriate to quote because he voices the importance of reading several times, because of this I have used him as my 'reading' point in my manifesto.
I decided to go with a simple typeface, as opposed to the same as my branding, I did try Minion Pro but I didn't think the style of the typeface suited the imagery.
layout:
I think in terms of layout the top one works best, I think this works better in terms of positioning with text and also generally on the whole as a design. It also allows me to add in the other quote at the footer of the page which I think is the main point of the manifesto and so works being on its own.
