My manifesto

Before we start this blog we need to understand what a manifesto is.

It is generally a document issued by a country, government, group or its leaders to state their political programme, political ideas, or to state their basic positions and attitudes on major political issues. Sometimes, declarations are also issued on behalf of conferences.

Declarations may also be used in international affairs, such as a 'common declaration' or 'joint declaration' when two countries, two parties or two or more social groups issue a declaration together. In international affairs, declarations sometimes assume the obligations of treaties.

A declaration is a very serious form of declaration of ideas and opinions, and its primary characteristic is its seriousness. Its tone, its language, its gestures and its wording are full of seriousness and deliberation. There is no playfulness here; there is a cognitive and emotional outpouring of thoughts and feelings.

Another characteristic of the manifesto lies in its agitational nature. It is an open statement of one's own opinion, in order to counteract all dissenting words and actions and to make one's voice known. For this reason, it is always full of emotion, of calls and petitions.

The manifesto is a frank statement of the group's or individual's ideas, and therefore has a certain degree of sophistication, particularly in the case of manifestos of social groups, which are systematic statements of ideas.

The manifesto is transparent. There is no such thing as a vague and ambiguous manifesto. A manifesto must be open and clear in its claims.

In general, a manifesto is a statement of purpose or belief that represents an individual or an organisation. For me a manifesto can be an aspiration for the future and a promise to myself.

Next I will explain my own manifesto.

My manifesto consists of nine points that I value and care about in my design. These nine points cover my philosophy from the beginning to the end of the design process.

The beginning of everything

Before starting a design, I think it is most important to have hope in everything. I think this is the beginning of something, only when one is full of love can the work be warm and convey emotions to the audience. I don't think work without warmth will ever be successful.

Pre-design

In the design process, I feel that having one's own point of view and being oneself is the key to a designer's work having its own vibe and soul. While it is helpful to understand the same themes in design, it is important to have our own ideas and opinions after studying the same type of work. We should not limit our own ideas because of the work of others. Only by having our own opinions and thinking can we achieve a successful piece of work of our own.

Mid-design

At this stage, the design philosophy I have always adhered to is "this is good". I don't want to pursue overly complicated designs, I want to grasp the degree of design, not to design for the sake of design, but to let design into life. The highest level of design is to make the design invisible.

Of course, it is also important not to be afraid of difficulties. Only when you break through them will you be able to reach new heights and see greater success.

When finished

When a piece of work is finished and exhibited, you are bound to hear a lot of different voices, and if there is praise, there is bound to be criticism. The first thing you need to do at this time is to stay optimistic and not be too negative about yourself, but have confidence in yourself. Of course, we can't just think that we are the best. In the face of criticism, we have to learn to accept it rationally, as these voices can help us to progress faster. So in the face of criticism we have to maintain a good state of mind while doing what we can to correct it.

This is the manifesto that I myself believe in and adhere to in my life, in my work. It has not only helped me to do my job better, but it has also influenced other aspects of my life and has brought me so many positive influences.

I am writing it down in the hope that it will help you in your life too.

My own manifesto is

This is good

Always have hope

Live in the moment

Maintain an independent opinion

To face criticism and correct it when it comes

Be optimistic and confident

Don't be afraid of difficulties

See you in the next blog.😊
