Page Evolution
The purpose of the Page Evolutionary Process:
We are so accustomed to witnessing the finished product of things, however to be able to witness the construction process has proven to be just as informative and provocative as the final product. Witnessing the construction and the intentions deepens the relationship to the content. And in this day with so much information being blasted through every aspect of our lives, the need to develop stronger relationships to this information seems imperative.
In a time where we do not know where our food comes from beyond the supermarket, where our water comes from beyond the faucet, where our energy comes from beyond the switch and our information beyond the newscasts, it is time to take more responsibility in how we live, consume, walk, talk and love.
Below is the final version of Section 01 :: Heart, Breath & Mind
First Draft :: This page serves as an introduction to the book. The intention was to offer the reader an opportunity to enter into the mind and body of the character and the story through a meditation. We began with this page and a list of the different elements to be incorporated onto the page.
Second Draft :: Next, we incorporated the elements into the page design. Remember, the design scheme of this project is to capture the vernacular of the 21st century, a language consisting of text, image and graphic.
MEAR One Meditating Man piece from the streets of Los Angeles served as the ideal representation of all the elements being discussed: Heart, Art, Breath, Mind & Meditation. To be given permission from MEAR One to utilize this work of art for this project was a beautiful blessing.
On the meditation note :: I was inspired to incorporate the honorable Thich Nhat Hanh image which I had taken at a Peace March/Protest that he led at MacArthur Park in Los Angeles. It was a prayer/march/protest where all the people marched in silence for Peace - taking each step as though the bottom of their feet were kissing the earth below. As powerful as any march/protest/prayer I have ever been to or experienced.
Final Draft :: With all the pieces together we were able to finalize Section 01 :: Heart, Breath & Mind
