This document provides an overview of Hassan Ishfaq's Island Identity Project. It describes Gran Canaria as the island being focused on, which is known for its beaches, lava lands, and capital city of Las Plamas. It then outlines what the ideal rural version of the island would look like to the author. This includes open roads, rural houses, and a focus on nature rather than cities. However, a corporation called "The Fingermen" has taken over the island and ruined its freedom. The people are now seeking vengeance against the corporation through a rebellion. The document then presents designs for flags and a propaganda poster related to the island's social groups and conflict.

2. Urban Architecture
What is Urban Architect?
 Urban architecture consists of buildings made for an urban (city) setting, specifically for
large or growing cities. With almost half of the world's population currently living in urban
cities, urban architecture has become a massive part and thriving field of design. Special
considerations of this area of design are concerned with the practicalities of city life,
including high-capacity housing and workplaces, friendship of form and function, and,
more recently, energy-efficient design such as your solar energy which is still improving to
be even better.

3. Some examples of Urban Architecture
that also show point of views.

4. More about Urban Architecture
 Those were some of the examples of Urban Architecture. The point of views also makes it a
factor which make people get attracted to these images too. These structures that you
see are real and are out there in the world. Its weird how some of them look super super
futuristic. But in my opinion these buildings, as good as they're, I prefer the old looking ones
that look modern but not futuristic. Here are some examples:

5. Rural Architecture
 What makes Rural different from Urban is the fact that Rural buildings and the setting
would be outside of the city. The buildings designs would have a variant. But most of them
would be bigger and be more spread out compared to the urban areas. Also since its not
in the city so there will be the poor areas sadly. The best part is that the true history and
culture tends be from rural areas in the country/city.

6. Some examples of Rural Architecture that
also show point of views.

7. Social Identity
 Social Identity is as import as individual Identity. Everyone is different. It could be to do with
what race you are, what country you're/family from, personality, age, gender and many
other things. All of these things make everyone unique but social identity is where people
are identified as something together in individual groups. I will be going through them in
different slides.

8. Social Identity- Race (Human)
 What is a race?
 The term Human race has been used since the 17th century to class as person from their skin colour also the
ethnic background. Examples for skin would be white (Caucasian) people, black people and Asian people
(brown people)
 Ethnic background is in depth of that. Its where you're from country wise. For example, if you or your family is
from Asian you will be classed as Asian. But you talk about ethnic, you talk about what specific country your
from in Asia. So if your from Pakistan, you will classed as Pakistani, if your were from India you will be classed
as Indian, if you were from china you will be classed as Chinese or if you were from japan you will be classed
as Japanese. It’s the same thing if u were from America, England or any other country. You are classed as
something as a group. Which is an example for social identity .

9. Social identity – Economic Status
 What does that mean?
 Economic Status is where one is classed as a upper class, middle class or lower class. This is
still a thing as people get judged on how much wealth they have. If you go back 100
years + you will you would clearly see that hierarchy in effect. But now we live in a world
where we do have those who may not have that much wealth but are being put into
programs like the benefits system in England. So it wont be as obvious to class someone
rich or poor as we don’t really bothered as people. But that cant be said in the business
world or the media industry. Your wealth does matter there and its not always a bad thing
when it comes to business at times but there’re some who would judge you for how much
wealth you have specially in the media industry.

10. Social identity – Personality- Nerds and
cool people
 Personality is what makes person unique. However not everyone will get along with you
due to who are as a person which is not good but it’s the world we live. People tend class
a person as someone. For example, if someone was really smart, had glasses, reads comic
and plays video games would be classed as a nerds. If you fit into those examples really
well then you might be nerd too so people who are nerds would tend to hang around
people who like them which would form a group.
 If you someone who does sports, go outs with friends, does parties, who is popular , has
upto date clothing on and the list goes on but you can understand what I mean.
Anyway, those types of people would classed as being cool would be another example.
They would also hang around with people who like them. But there the majority who have
abit of all of that In them so they tend to get along with anyone really.

11. Social identity - Power
 This topic could be carryon on from Economic status but it also follows the lines of the
personality topic too so I thought just talk about it separately.
 There's a lot of way you can go about this but I wanted to talk type of power where how
much a person as over people. Some people use and some may use it for bad but not
everyone will happy with your choices. The best examples for that would be politics. Being
a President or a Prime minister makes you to captain of that country you're supposed to
lead the people the “right way” forward. Which is generally not always true because as
leader you will stuff that’s stupid but in your eyes its for the “greater good” and you will do
stuff the people will love you for.
 But to have that type of power you need to start from the bottom to work your way up.

12. Social identity- Power – Becoming a
president
 The best way to show this type of power I think is this process which running an election to become a President. I wont go into
detail but I will talk about the key aspects of this whole process.
 Running a campaign
 To kick this off you need to get your name out there. Its totally down to you on how you do that. You can use social media
or you can go out to public places and talk about your campaign. You will need to have some serious knowledge about all
of this, perhaps having a degree in something that will relate to this would help you. Law degree would be a good example.
It shows the public that you have that knowledge in the law system. Thats how you will be making rules anyway, by going
though the law system.
 Once you have your name out there you need make people believe in you. This where you have to say and do stuff that
would get people to understand you. I talked about how people have different personality and they tend to connect to
people who can understand them. That’s what you will have to do.
 Im sure you wont be the only one who will try and run for being president so you will have to tackle all of that too. But as you
are doing that you would to get more peoples attention and of the best ways of doing that is using posters to get people to
vote for you and then after while if things go well then you might be the president. But a lot of work as to be done. Going to
different states and meeting different people is a tough job f you want to convince them. You also have to follow the
constitutional. Which just are some set of “rules2 that even the president should Most countries have them too. You don’t
break the law if you don’t follow but it shows that you don’t value what this county is about.

13. Constitutional - Preambles.
 Preambles essentially means that its just a shorter version of an actual Constitutional. It’s a
opening statement to the constitution. An introduction to the constitutional . Here's the US
preamble:
 “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish
Justice, insure domestic Tranquillity, provide for the common defence, promote the
general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do
ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”
 Its sounds so strong and the words show a lot of emotion. Its something that everyone
that’s lives in the US and loves the country would know. That’s how I would want my
preamble to be like.

14. Social identity-
Power – Becoming a
president – Posters
 Here are just some of the posters that have been
used. Some of these are done by the public.
That’s how you win. If You get people believing
in you, you wont hardly have to spend a dime
on posters as they will do it for you. That’s
another example of power. A person who make
people do what he/she wants done which is not
always a bad thing. It depends on what you
want people to do.

15. My Favourite Poster
 I love how this was done. The colours, the font
and the paint effect. It looks like someone done
the paint effect in photoshop or illustrator.

16. Social identity- Power –
using it the wrong way
 Going back to this another example of
controlling people would be Hitler. He used his
power for evil things and tired to dominate the
world. He did a lot of damage but never had
done that alone. Back then there was no
internet. The only way Hitler got to people
was by TV, posters, violence or radio. Here are
some examples of posters that would’ve been
used.

17. Social identity- Power –
using it the wrong way-
Part 2
 Here are some posters that were used against
Hitler's propaganda.

18. My favourte
poster form the
two slides.
 I dont like what's in the poster
in the left but the way the
poster is laid out and the art
styles is really really good.
 I love the seconding poster.
The typography is what caught
my attention to this. The colour
scheme and fonts style is on
point. Its right in your face to
get your attention. To make it
even better there's drawing
that’s so action packed which
makes the poster so strong
that it would've got people to
do their part.

19. My Island

20. Gran Canaria
 Gran Canaria is one of the Spanish Canary Islands. Its off
northwest Africa and its known for its white sandy beaches,
its black lava ands its capital city called Las Plamas. It’s a
major stop for cruise ships and for its shopping which are
duty free. But there's so much more to this place which
makes it beautiful to explore.

21. What It looks like

22. What I would want
 I would want this islands to be more rural and have places just like those that I have put in
my research about rural places. I don’t want it to be super futuristic and I don’t want to
have one place in the island where all the attention goes to like the las plamas. I want big
open roads and big houses and more of the nature side instead of the cities that we live
in today. A peaceful place. But for that to happen the war that's happening between the
rebels and the Rorporation must end. The corporation have took this place and ruined it.
There's no freedom. Gran Canaria is place where anyone from any country can live there
and not be judged for where they're from, their skin colour, their personality. Just like other
country we too have a preamble constitution.

23. Gran Canaria’s Preamble.
 We the Gran Canarias are people who believe in freedom. We believe that everyone is equal
regardless of where you’re from, what religion you are and what skin colour you are. Her
majesty has given this glorious island hope and we prey the beauty of this place shall never be
destroyed. We unite against those who harm Gran Canaria and its people. God bless us all with
love, strength, happiness and guides us to the right paths together. Que Dios bendiga a Su
Majestad la Reina Isabel y bendiga a Gran Canaria. Amén
(God bless her majesty Queen Elizabeth and bless Gran Canaria. Amen)
The who story about this island Is that this place has gone through a lot of wars. Its been raided by
so many counties but that all ended as the Queen of England gave it new life by eradicating those
who tired to corrupt it. It was great for 10 years but after the vendetta battle that happened in
London . Some members called “The Fingermen” managed to escape and formed a group called
the Corporation who have invaded Gran Canaria. Now the people of Gran Canaria are seeking
vengeance.

24. Flags!!
 Flags give things an identity. A face. So when people see
that flag they know what its representing. Every country has
one. Some look good and some look bad but the main
purpose is to represent the country so it doesn’t matter how
good or ugly they look. Flags don’t always have to be
about countries. It could represent a city or even football
team. It just has to present something

25. My three flags

26. Flag 1
 This is the flag of Gran Canaria. It’s a mix of the
union jack (my English version) and the Spanish
flag.
 The top picture was a method Rudy showed
me. He told me to describe the book in words
and then showed me how to use those words
and make drawings out of it.
 The bottom picture was just me drawing my first
thought and it was the first one that I really
liked. The ‘v’ at the bottom represent the word
vengeance but also forms a heart which is
why I added that it. The two things that are on
both sides of the English flags were first
supposed to be the stripes that you see on the
union jack but I wanted to make it my own so I
made it look like the bio hazard sign to warn
those who want to harm the people and ruin
Gram Canarai .

27. Flag 2
 This flag is the same as the first one but
this flag represents the rebellions who
are fighting against the Corporation. I
made it black and white to make it
serious. I also made it so it can be used
on clothing just like a logo.
 The picture shows my ideas for the
sending flag but when I tried them out
in illustrator, it didn’t work so I just
modified the first logo.

28. Flag 3
 This flag represents the corporation. The
picture below was the thought process. I
wanted this flag to around the logo that
was used by “the Fingermen”.

29. My poster
 Made a poster as an example from when I
did the research. This poster is about getting
people to fight against the corporation.
 After looking at so many posters, I came
across this one which is the picture on the
left. So I instantly had an idea so I started
to draw a concept which is the bottom
picture.
 At thought having two icon buildings. One
from England and one from Spain but when
I did it, it didn’t work out so I just stuck with
one which was the Spanish one. Its called
the Seville Cathedral. It is the largest
Gothic cathedral and the third-largest
church in the world.
 The story of this poster is That it was
supposed to be a message from the
Corporation to get people to come to the
island but then rebellion's scribbled all over
the poster to send their own message.
