Unit X manifesto inital draft

Good design comes from experience

I may go off on a tangent but it is my tangent to explore.

Apple is not the god of graphic design

I am not going to stick to one creative practice or style  

I am going to make mistakes, but the mistakes are always remembered by other people

Stupid thoughts lead to creative exploration

Helvetica is not the be all and end all

I am never going to know every typeface of by heart and I am not going to try

If there’s no emotion or drive don’t do it otherwise it’s just a waste of time

It is better to have 1,000 ideas than none

If you know what the outcome is going to be there is no point because art is a journey

If you don’t have a valid opinion that is well thought out there is no point in adding it in to a piece of design

Everything is a development

Never achieve perfection

No one is going to die it is not life of death

Inspiration won’t hit you as hard unless you are open to it

If you are going to be anti anything makes sure it lasts or you will look stupid

Not doing corporate work does not make you a better person

You will never be completely finished just finished enough to please people and move on

If someone starts killing themselves because of you (e.g smoking, not suicide) then they was probably going to do it anyway

Try to take inspiration from everything but don’t pretend to be inspired when you’re not your going to fall on your face

Don’t try to act smarter than is possible to get the work done everyone is human

You can always leave

From looking through different design manifestos that I have researched from different time periods in design not only, in that of graphic design but also that of interior and fashion design, I then chose to see the thing that I felt were relevant for me but also the style of writing that appealed to me. I believe that a manifesto even though a public declaration it is more in tune with one individual person and their ideas and attitudes. So therefore, I wanted my manifesto to exemplify this and be something that is personal.

I chose to a type of bullet point system due I feel that when reading the manifestos that the short bullet points made a better impact and therefore would attract a wider audience rather than in a essay format.

A key inspiration in the inital draft of my manifesto was the riot Grrrl manifesto by Kathleen Hanna, due to the use of begining of every sentence with 'because' not only made a dramatic impact but however made it easily readable.

This is only the intial draft of the manifesto and other points maybe be taken away of added, but I feel I have a idea on how it will be developed and a idea of possible outcome(s)
