conceptual philosophy



;

After looking through Bruce Mau's work i found a lot of manifestos and posters of his that i really liked, the designs and the messages he gives off through his work are really inspirational and well done.



[bruce mau __ incomplete manifesto for growth]
  

This piece is probably his most famous as i kept seeing it everywhere i looked for his work
It's almost like a guide for designers, whether it be artists, architects or graphic designers

He includes a lot of points in this piece which are all really thought out and ones you can use in your lives

I really like the black and white
I really like how he has 43 points
but highlights only a few
the ones he made to stick out are the ones with deep titles that a reader would immediately jump to and capture their attention

"DONT BE COOL"
"LAUGH"
"POWER TO THE PEOPLE" 


 


This is a cropped / zoomed in
version of his original piece 

I found it right next to his actual piece on a website but i feel like these few points were done especially for students, 
young people who are trying to enter this industry
