My Manifesto

Following the joint project brief, our next project handed to us was to write ourselves a manifesto. Our manifesto could be presented in anyway as long as the presentation was connected to the manifesto it's self. The manifesto I wrote was:

'My Manifesto

I, the dyslexic and dyspraxic designer, may struggle reading and writing exactly what should be read and written. The capital letter is clearer and images are easier to follow. My hinderance is also my positive attribute. My difficulty of the written art helps me understand imagery and makes me more visual. I understand numbers and usually pick up other languages quite easily but forget them quickly. The handwritten text is more human. Photos are as creative as paintings and films are not supposed to be realistic, but show a fictitious world. Art should always be expressive and not money making. Everything should be experimental and varying in techniques. Mistakes can and should be made. Amateur work can be professional but creativity should not meet any boundaries. An artist should never be pigeonholed in one are of design, and vice-versa.'

I wanted my manifesto to be able to be repeatedly produced but still with the humanistic aesthetic. I decided to get it etched in metal so all i had to do was apply ink and roll it on to paper. It came out looking like my hand writing every time.
