PERSONAL MANIFESTO Context A manifesto is a published verbal declaration of the intentions, motives, or views of the issuer, be it an individual, group, political party or government. A manifesto usually accepts a previously published opinion or public consensus and/or promotes a new idea with prescriptive notions for carrying out changes the author believes should be made. It often is political or artistic in nature, but may present an individual's life stance.
Brief The brief is to create a personal manifesto that reflects both you as an individual and a designer. The manifesto should be considered in terms of the points you want to make and how you wish to display them. As this is a personal manifesto it should represent you in terms of what you like and what design interests you, along with the visual outcome reflecting your practice.
Preparation/Research suggestions You will need to consider the points and ideas you want to display in your own manifesto. Researching into other design manifestos will enable you to get a clearer understanding of the format and inspire new points and ideas for your own manifesto. Consider ways in which you could display the manifesto visually in an engaging way.
Evidence – for this project students should submit A personal manifesto that reflects you as an individual and also reflects your practice, both visually and contextually
