Through the process of designing these manifestos, I really learned how to use inDesign on my own, it's all about trial&error, and finding things out by yourself. I was so frustrated after losing my sketchbook with all my notes in it, including ones from the inDesign sessions, but it really didn't matter because looking back on them would have probably just slowed down the process of learning.
I was advised to try and take the hourglass illustration out of my personal manifesto above, and quickly did so now by taking it away, not making any other changes but with careful consideration and redesign it can convey the message I wanted by simplification.
I am quite comfortable with the programme now (far from being a pro, but y'know..)
The manifesto crit/presentation was today, thought it went quite well. It was interesting to see everyone's work, what they had written about and what style they went with when designing in relation to their subjects. I really didn't know what to expect from the group and was scared to put mine up on a wall to be compared with the 80 odd manifesto designs up there.
finish off with one of my favourites from today: Joe Myers' superhero manifesto.
