ISTD 2020, Migration
Brief; You are asked to design a typographic work celebrating the theme of ‘migration’. We expect you to investigate the widest interpretation of the theme from, natural, historical, cultural and global perspectives. We envisage lots of opportunities to draw upon references to different interpretations, eras, societies, social groups, generations, statistics etc. You may wish to create a broad spectrum compendium that tells multiple stories about migration, or you may wish to focus on one group or even and individual person’s story. It might be the case that you, or your family, have personal experience of migration to relate.
My submission is based around the religious pilgrimage, The Hajj. Based on the grid system of the Islamic star, this editorial opens up with nine folds, anticlockwise to represent the movement around the Kaaba this editorial uses the story of 'The Tour de Hajj' group to educate it's audience on the meaning and purpose of the pilgrimage. The box is used to represent the Kaaba and the journey with in it that Muslims take annually to Mecca. (This is further displayed on the back of the editorial using a map to show the movement of people from around the world to Mecca.)
