My approach to designing the dictionary was experimenting with typography. Aesthetically it was successful however after the presentation I was criticized that the aesthetics was distracting the views from the concept of the dictionary. I agree with the criticism and will make the necessary changes to clarify the concept.




Dictionary Project

I designed a dictionary on the ego;" the “I” or self of any person; a person as thinking, feeling, and willing, and distinguishing itself from the selves of others and from objects of its thought."

I acknowledged the psychoanalysis approach to the ego giving me understanding of how the ego works in the human conscious, unconscious and subconscious. The ego is most dominant within the unconscious. I constructed a map revealing characteristics of human nature that derives from the ego. This map also demonstrates the ego's potential threat to the human consciousness. After getting feedback I realize that this map is not complete. I plan to re-design the map in greater details. I will generate a map demonstrating the path to destruction originating from the ego and the path to enlightenment originating from the ego.

I plan to do more work with the Unknown land project. I feel that the concept is not articulated as well as it could be.
