In thinking about a personal "manifesto" I think first about the fact that I hate the word "manifesto" and then about the fact that I haven't been a professional in the industry long enough to have a fully formulated one…so instead I will treat this as an exploration and expound upon a list of ten key ideas that I have formulated since beginning a career in graphic design (some of which I still have to remind myself of quite frequently), and what I think could possibly assist very new designers in their journey down a similar path.
