I have chosen to stick with the format of multiple lined pages because it best depicts my ideas and purpose. The pages will look inconspicuous; blend in with the background. I will have a series of notes and doodles that when read individually don’t make sense but when read together as a whole, will communicate the purpose of the manifesto. My aim is to encourage mental presence and a state of being and this format and style of writing will help in making the reader spend time thinking about what they are reading; being present.
With this said, I don’t know if the words conformity or being best articulate the purpose and content of my manifesto. After spending some time trying to find the right word for the title page, I decided to work on the written content of the manifesto and hoped that this would hep me find a word for the title.
Rather than overthinking my writing, I wrote just what came to mind. I decided that the best way to approach writing my manifesto would be to write about my topic/idea and then use this to create notes and doodles to put on the lined pages. Below are some of the written itterations I did.
I quite liked the talking/conversation style of the last one on the far right. The purpose of my manifesto is to encourage the break of the subconscious flow and to be mentally present and by talking to the reader I can get this point across better. With this said, I wasn’t 100% sure about the way I had written it and I also had to figure out a way to manipulate it so it could be written as notes that were abstract enough to make the reader think about and interpret the manifesto, but also not too abstract that it makes it too difficult for the reader to understand.
