100 Years of Design Manifestos -- Social Design Notes
by karlcow
& 1 other
This list of design manifestos was buried in a previous post but deserves its own permalink. It is largely drawn from Mario Piazza’s presentation at the Più Design Può conference in Florence, though I’ve edited and added to it. I’ve also incorporated links where I was able to find them.
100 Years of Design Manifestos -- Social Design Notes

Since the days of radical printer-pamphleteers, design and designers have a long history of fighting for what’s right and working to transform society. The rise of the literary form of the manifesto also parallels the rise of modernity and the spread of letterpress printing.

Bre Pettis | I Make Things - Bre Pettis Blog - The Cult of Done Manifesto

- There are three states of being. Not knowing, action and completion.
- Accept that everything is a draft. It helps to get it done.
- There is no editing stage.
- Pretending you know what you're doing is almost the same as knowing what you are doing, so just accept that you know what you're doing even if you don't and do it.
- Banish procrastination. If you wait more than a week to get an idea done, abandon it.
- The point of being done is not to finish but to get other things done.
- Once you're done you can throw it away.
- Laugh at perfection. It's boring and keeps you from being done.
- People without dirty hands are wrong. Doing something makes you right.
- Failure counts as done. So do mistakes.
- Destruction is a variant of done.
- If you have an idea and publish it on the internet, that counts as a ghost of done.
- Done is the engine of more.

Usable Content Manifesto
by fredbird
& 2 others
I see a sore need for what I’ll call “usable content.” I thought I’d take a moment and let y’all know what I think usable content is, and what I think it isn’t. Of course, this is pretty general and content needs to be tailored to your goals and audience. Take this with a grain of salt.
