Design Manifesto

Manifesto - a public declaration of intentions, opinions, objections, or motives, as one issued by a government, sovereign, or organisation. 


As a designer, you have to think of the amendments and rules youcan set yourself, usually this comes in the form of a manifesto. In this session we were asked to analyse First Things First by Ken Garland and co-designers (1964) then create our own personal manifesto inspired by it.


After going through and making notes related to this manifesto we were given the task to make our own:


Here's what I know for sure, I will never stop being creative. My art and creations will matter to at least one person. That person is me.
 I love BOLD lines, colour and ideas. I love the chaos of a project just as much as I love the abundance of sticky notes to control it.
 I believe in taking any chance I can get. Even the ugly things can be beautiful. I dont want to live in a world restricted from creative freedom. I want a world where being an artist is seen equal to more academic jobs. 
I am committed to never getting strung up on one failure when there are so many accomplishments I have already made. I will take pride in my failures and will value them till they become a success. I am committed to proving anyone who says something is impossible otherwise.


I will restructure the way I see my work. No longer will I make shortcuts to get a result quicker. The process is the fun bit.
