Manifesto Project

[Authors Own, November 2013]

At first the manifesto project seem slightly confusing yet challenging as I always try to create a final outcome which is nothing like the 'norm'. Looking through the examples given, and researching other existing manifestos, for me, I thought they all look very similar and quite easy to replicate so I started to develop mine pretty simple and slowly making it more and more interesting and graphic - trying to really push the boundaries of what people have already done. At the end I cam up with a concept that links to my design and the idea of a manifesto which was 'Elements', in which i played on the idea of a periodic element table and each separate box having it very own unique 'element' - which in my case would be a unique element to my manifesto, each element representing what I believe I should do and aim towards as a creative. I gained quite a lot of positive feedback from my peers which I was happy about for example the colour link to nature I used and the concept behind it all, I also got some improvements that I could do to further develop the piece on for example to size of the text. Although this was just a task set for us - I really think it has help motivate me as a designer and what I have written in my manifesto I will now stand by.
