TODAY WE ARE MAKING A MANIFESTO Tom and me have been making a manifesto over the last three weeks by means of a text file in an email, updating it whenever we thought of anything to add. The manifesto is for us individually and also collectively. As I think I probably said before, we (Matt, Tom and Me) are thinking about starting a design company in the near future. So this manifesto is important because we’re trying to make a list of attitudes that we’d like to stick to. I guess it’s kind of like saying “here’s what we believe; this is who we want to be.” - in terms of the way we approach our work. Today we (Matt too) are spending the day making a potential list of 10 things. The plan is to have 10 phrases or words that represent each of the things on the list. These words and phrases have to mean something and be important to us, but the way we choose to represent them in our actual manifesto will hopefully communicate what they mean - or at least give a good idea.
