Format development of my manifesto

After my recent blog post I started getting random ideas on the different style if formats that the manifesto can be displayed in and how to get my own design philosophy out in to the public

Format-I felt initially that due to a manifesto is something that people feel should be followed religiously, I kind of got the feeling that it could be possibly displayed with religious iconography, in addition to this i felt that its could be displayed as a modern tattoo as it is something in bedded into that person and cannot be removed, the tattoo could be displayed over the persons heart or possibly by the persons wrist as the saying you were your heart on your sleeve which is something a manifesto does and also as it is close to the hands which are a designers main tool, I feel initially there is a lot of reason behind this type of format but however the idea of making it look successful may be too hard to achieve and look professionally done.
The idea of a id card or bar code also came to mind due to it is something that people carry with them all the time and is something that helps people identify that unique person, this approach could be intertwined with a narration running through the card or if a narrative was displayed it could possibly take on the format of a passport sized booklet.
I also felt that a t shirt print could be used in this manifesto print, due to a t shirt is something that outwardly symbolizes that persons creativity, and also over time it is something that is worn out and but eventually in the bin which is useful in my scenario due to in my idea a manifesto is something that should change with the person as the person grows up and changes and learns different crafts or styles. If i were doing the t shirt idea the placement would be a key piece in the work the type of the heart on in the center would make the manifesto be seen clearly and be open to everyone and as mentioned before the ideology of the heart, however i feel that placing the type on the bottom or by the sleeve which puts it into partial view, makes it more plausible as people like to project their design philosophy outwards but however at times like to hide it in case they change their minds on a certain idea so they cant be called up on it. The t shirt in addition to this is important due to the background for the type to be displayed upon can have different meanings from using a tie dye t-shirt or plain white t shirt which is something that I would need to think about more as development progresses.
