The inspiration for last week’s project came from a number of sources, as many of my projects seem to do.

First and foremost the inspiration for the project came form my need and want to begin to better understand who I am as both an individual and as a member of society. As I outlined in my reflection, I had the personal need to find out more about who I am and what I do.

Beyond that, the medium and project type, a manifesto, was chosen primarily due to the fact that the manifestos I have read in the past have always been able to move me. The following is just a small selection of manifestos that I feel have influenced me.

The Communist Manifesto

Although I am not a communist nor do I believe everything written by Marx and Engles, this famous manifesto (perhaps the most famous) always caught my attention and made me think. There was just something about it that was moving an inspiring.

The Manifesto of the Creative Class

Although this is short and very recent, when I read this manifesto I felt that many of my own personal characteristics were captured in it and that in some way it represented a part of me.

The Rebels Manifesto

This is something that I came across in the past couple of weeks but wanted to include it as I think that it is fitting for a number of the projects I am undertaking and the type of work I can see myself doing in the future.

It is a short little guide that outlines a number of things I currently do and many others that I can see myself doing in the future.
