I have started to apply the word fuck you or a slightly different start point to the original manifesto that I made in order to see whether, it is worth carrying on with the idea or whether i will have to change the concept completely. I still believe that it will be useful to categorize the different starting points of the manifesto to make it a lot more easily readable and would get the point across in a more dramatic way.
In addition to this i also felt that a colour coding system could possibly work but use it in a more personal possibly in a three tier system from the colours I like to ones that I am not to bothered about which will not be as easy to recognize as the danger warning systems but are more personal.
I still however need to revisit my manifesto after this example and look at possibly wording changes and whether their is other stuff that could be included
FUCK YOU Good design comes from experience
FUCK IT I may go off on a tangent but it is my tangent to explore.
FUCK IT Apple is not the god of graphic design
FUCK YOU I am not going to stick to one creative practice or style
FUCK IT I am going to make mistakes, but the mistakes are always
remembered by other people
FUCK IT Stupid thoughts lead to creative exploration
FUCK YOU Helvetica is not the be all and end all
FUCK YOU I am never going to know every typeface of by heart and I am
not going to try
FUCK IT If there’s no emotion or drive don’t do it otherwise it’s
just a waste of time
FUCK YOU It is better to have 1,000 ideas than none
FUCK IT If you know what the outcome is going to be there is no
point because art is a journey
FUCK YOU 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
FUCK YOU Everything is a development
FUCK IT Never achieve perfection
FUCK IT No one is going to die it is not life of death
FUCK IT Inspiration won’t hit you as hard unless you are open to it
FUCK YOU If you are going to be anti anything makes sure it lasts or
you will look stupid
FUCK YOU Not doing corporate work does not make you a better person
FUCK IT You will never be completely finished just finished enough to
please people and move on
FUCK IT If someone starts killing themselves because of you (e.g
smoking, not suicide) then they was probably going to do it anyway
FUCK YOU Try to take inspiration from everything but don’t pretend to
be inspired when you’re not your going to fall on your face
FUCKING Don’t try to act smarter than is possible to get the work
done everyone is human
FUCK You can always leave
after that initial test of using the work fuck and a another word to accompany it I believe that in some cases it works whilst in others the grammatical error seems to make the point less strong even though I do believe that spelling something wrong can lead to a piece of design being more memorable however in this case it does not work and would make the reader stumble, which like in a speech there should be a flow and rhythm to a manifesto so that people go in a trance like state and are totally focused on the speaker which is what great politicians do.
I therefore plan to rework my manifesto and the wording within it and possibly add some different point to give the work flow and look for possible categories that the points can be made it and in this look at possibly using a title to make the piece more dramatic rather than titling it something like Jacks manifesto
