Creative Manifesto

After reading the partial manifesto list by Karim Rashid, there is one point that especially speaks to me. "There are three kinds of beings - those who create culture, those who buy culture and those who don't give a shit about culture. Move between the first two." This is very true about the world today. Some people create things, some people buy those things, and some people don't care abut those things. However, they probably care about something else being created, continuing the cycle.

To conclude my blog postings, I have created my own short manifesto to sum up my attitudes concerning my creative endeavors.


1. Don't take the easy way out, even if it saves you time.

2. You can't force out new ideas.

3. Spontaneous ideas are the best.

4. Humor is a great creative tool.

5. There is always an alternative route.

6. The longer it takes you to do something, the more you are learning about it.

7. The future is not always the best. Sometimes the "best of times" was the "good ol' days," but that doesn't mean you can't recreate that in a new light.

8. If it has no meaning to you, there's still someone whom it gives every meaning.

9. If you don't have the resources, create them with other things.

10. Someone will always hate what you're creating.

11. Don't follow the rules.
