Introduction:
The quest for freedom and liberalism within the Middle Eastern civilizations, especially in Iranian culture, has its deep roots inside the ancient history of the region. Since the very early times that the ability of recording thoughts and beliefs was achieved, the people of Iran have shouted their call for freedom through their scripts, from Cyrus's human rights epigraph to the recent revolutionary literature and even in the banners which are used in these days protests, and pursued the extension of liberal ideas and demand for basic human rights as a vital issue.
My idea for the second year's design project, is a new and universal expression of this demand and its history, an expression which is understandable by each and every type of audience regardless of their language and race.
Idea:
1. Design a simple script based on the universally known symbols to express the concept
2. Using this script on an epigraph similar to the Cyrus's human rights epigraph
Description:
The aim of inventing a new script, is to make the concept understandable for any group of people, regardless of their language or region, even for those who are born in distant future, and to make it simple enough so that it does not require any training to understand.
The reason for using the script on an epigraph, it to remind the fact that freedom, is a need and demand that has existed from the dawn of civilization and is not followed just through few past centuries, and this is an emphasis on the fact that freedom is one of the fundamental needs of human.
