Manifesto - PDP Session
During this weeks PDP session we were introduced to creating our own manifesto for our design practice; to help get started we looked at existing design manifestos by Ken Garland and Claes Oldenburg. From these examples it helped me create my own; my manifesto is the style of Claes Oldenburg as I liked the style and layout of the manifesto and how it flowed; it was also quite simple and easy to understand his practice. Here is my manifesto;
I am for a design that......
I am for a design that speaks for itself.
I am for a design that needs no introduction.
I am for a design that is attention seeking.
I am for a design that can hold your attention.
I am for a design that keeps you wanting more, but also leaves you satisfied.
I am for a design that leaves someone inspired.
I am for a design that uses and shows off skills and talent.
I am for a design that advertises, persuades and informs the audience.
I am for a design that is informative.
I am for a design that is clever.
I am for a design that is original and new.
I am for a design that is refreshing from the norm.
I am for a design that is true to its purpose.
I am for a design that daring and not afraid to push the boundaries of what is seen to be acceptable.
I am for a design that has personality and meaning.
I am for a design that inspires me to push myself, my practice, my skills, my boundaries in order to produce a design that fulfils its purpose and is a design to be proud of.
By creating this manifesto it has helped me focus on what is important to me as a designer and what I stand for as a designer; which in turn will allow me to know myself better and the way I work.
