#visuallysaying

I'm starting to explore ways to visualize this manifesto. Below is the beginning of one direction; with some notes to help illustrate the idea.

    QUOTE AT THE TOP

“Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.” Oscar Wilde

GRAPHIC IN THE MIDDLE

This is one visual execution of ‘Create Yours,’ but the hope is that there will be hundreds; each one done by a different person and an interpretation of the words in their style.

COPY AT THE BOTTOM

‘Love your work. Leave your mark.’ This is an invite to sign the piece and be proud of who they are, what they think, and what they create.

NOTE:

Based on the theme and meaning behind the manifesto, it doesn’t feel right to me to simply create something that people read and don't interact with, contribute to, or make it specific to themselves.

This is essentially a canvas for people to create their version of ‘Create Yours.’ The thought at the moment is to have this be a digital template, a printable template, a poster, etc. People can keep it, share it, whatever they want.

NOTE:

The first lines from the manifesto:

Don’t hurry to finish; instead hurry to start. Restart if you want, but just start.

NOTE:

There is space for people to jot down some things they want to start, or restart.

Remove the pressure to get it right the first time, no one does.

Remove the pressure to start big. Start small. Take one step. Recognize this is part of the journey, and the journey is all there is.

Life is not what happened in the past, or what might happen in the future, life only exists right now.

Don’t make plans to (fill in the blank), when (fill in the blank). Now is the only perfect time.

Create your definition of success.  Create your definition of failure.

NOTE:

That’s where I’m at right now; if you want to read the rest of the manifesto you can check it out here, and if you want to create your version of ‘Create Yours,’ that would be amazing. You can grab an .ai template here, but don’t feel limited by this; if graffiti, or napkins, or whatever else is your medium; do it your way! 

If you want, email me, I’d love to see what you come up with; and if you share it use #createyours
