A Manifesto?
- Tina: Would you say it's more of our manifesto?
- Ethan Smith: It kinda is.
- Tina: The Phase Two Manifesto...
- hmm. Bruce mau calls his the manifesto for growth
- Manifesto for Progress?
- Ethan: "What follows is a manifesto of sorts. Twenty guiding principles which intend to integrate design into your personal fabric. Rather than focusing on what makes great design, Work in Progress focuses on what makes great designers."
- that sounds really forced.
- except the last line
- Tina: Yeah. Could we just cut the first part?
- "The Phase Two manifesto focuses on what makes great designers..."
- Ethan: Well, let me send you the entire section…
- Tina: AH! Reading this makes me really excited
- Ethan: Neat!
- Tina: Hmm.
- Okay, I'm going to barf out ideas.
- Ethan: cool
- Tina: Design with a purpose..
- a new concept that isn't necessarily talked about, rather overlooked
- here to help those kicking and screaming and not quite sure what they're doing
- to provide options for people who thought they didn't really have any
- Ethan: Oooohhh, that's good.
- Tina: a manifesto to not only work harder, but smarter
- so that you can cross that bridge a little faster
- Ethan: that's it.
- Tina: a little better
- Ethan: smarter
- Tina: yayy!
- Ethan: k, I'm calling this done: What follows are twenty principles which intentionally blur the line between work and play; guidelines which will develop a designer’s dedication, not just their skill. As a designer grows, particularly when they feel overwhelmed, it is their passion which will help them progress. Rather than focusing on what makes great design, Work in Progress is focused on what makes a great designer.
