Incomplete Manifesto

‘Always a great read for creatives’ –retinart

Designer Bruce Mau’s Incomplete Manifesto for Growth, begun in 1998.

Read here. Great ideas – many of them resonate with my own design process; which took years to develop and is still constantly evolving.

I stay up late, I don’t clean my desk, I make accidents, my first drafts of anything are often random mistakes, most of my best ideas happen when I’m not working, I think computers really fuck things up (that comes from Tibor Kalman, actually), I’ve been avoiding award competitions like the plague, I ask stupid questions, imitate, drift, scat, jump fences and most important,

I laugh. At everything.

I believe evolution is key to creative growth. If it stops, stagnation seeps in. And things become dull really fucking fast.
