Assignment #15 Research and Inspiration

Research-

An illuminated manuscript is a manuscript in which the text is supplemented by the addition of decoration, such as decorated initials, borders (marginalia) and miniature illustrations. In the most strict definition of the term, an illuminated manuscript only refers to manuscripts decorated with gold or silver, but in both common usage and modern scholarship, the term is now used to refer to any decorated or illustrated manuscript from the Western traditions. Comparable Far Eastern works are always described as painted, as are Mesoamerican works. Islamic manuscripts are usually referred to as illuminated but can also be classified as painted.

Brainstorm-


I think that for this design I am going to try to make it look more traditional by adding lace and very simple colors. I also think that I am going to put some flower brushes to make it look natural and very nice. Song choices: Enchanted by Taylor Swift or Today Was a Fairytale by Taylor Swift.
