Indesign project: Manifesto


I've been attending indesign workshops at UWE to learn how to make a booklet. I am going to use my unresolved Manifesto as a way of learning print and binding a book.

I am going to Japanese Stab bind a booklet with these following points as my design value Manfesto.


Title:

"Art that makes me Happy
Wilson Chiu Manifesto."


  1. I like art that forces you to think about something from a different perspective.
  2. I think Typography and letterforms are beautiful.
  3. To break the rules you must first understand how the rules work first.
  4. Sometimes happy accidents happen. Use them to your advantage
  5. Be curious.
  6. It is important to plan out the appropriate concept of a piece.
  7. Once a piece of art is created, it is open to interpretation by other people and what it means to them.
  8.  If a piece of work communicates the intended message effectively, then you have done your job well.
  9. I would be unwilling to make design work for an unmoral cause even if it paid well.
  10. My work design have to be world changing. If it reaches out to even just one person, then I feel this is a good thing.
  11. I like sharp, clean design. For this reason vectors and 2D flat design appeals to me.
  12. Art should be visually engaging in order to get the audience’s attention.
  13. Personal development is more important than competing with other people.
  14. I like things to be orderly. 
  15. I think the asterisk looks nice.
  16. Sometimes simple can be effective.
