Sept to Grace - The Design Manifesto - Part 2


Grace's envelope is another one I did in August and she didn't sign up. It's one of those translucent envelopes. I was thinking that my Rolly lettering was too wimpy so I chunked it up. I wish I had done the last name larger. I love that stamp - but the name and address needs to fill more space. I could have fit both names on one line if I had compressed them. Dang.

First, we have to decide if I should use manifesto or find a different word.

Here is what Wiki says:

A manifesto is a written declaration of the intentions, motives, or views of the issuer, be it an individual, group, political party, or government. A manifesto can accept a previously published opinion or public consensus, but many prominent manifestos—such as those of various artistic movements—reject accepted knowledge in favor of a new idea. Manifestos relating to religious belief are generally referred to as creeds or confessions of faith.

There's more at Wiki - but we have enough for me to make my decision. Manifesto looks perfect to me since it mentions artistic movements right up there with politics. Not that I am political and not that I am going to start a movement - but I've been filling up my blog with declarations of my views for 16 years - so I think the manifesto is written. It's just very very very disorganized. Entropy.
