Bruce Mau was born on October 25 1959, he is a Canadian designer. Mau was the creative director of Bruce Mau Design and the founder of the Institute with Boundaries. He started his career as a graphic designer but later veered his career towards the worlds of architecture, art, museums, film, eco-environmental design, and conceptual philosophy.

This is a manifesto designed by Bruce Mau. This manifesto is called Incomplete Manifesto for Growth. I really like the layout of the manifesto. This manifesto follows a simplistic design. The page has no artwork and is design solely do read from I like how the black background and the white text perfectly work together and they are easy to see. I also like how the titles are larger so it grabs you attention to make you want to read what it’s about.

I really like the message of the manifesto, it includes tips on how growth as a designer. It includes tips such as ‘’Capture accidents. The wrong answer is the right answer in search of a different question…’’, ‘’Avoid software. The problem with software is that everyone has it.’’, Don’t clean your desk. You might find something in the morning that you can’t see tonight.’’. They are simple, yet effective ‘Life Hacks for a designer.

I like how the message of the manifesto is to seek growth, not greatness. To love the things you try, even if you don’t think they’re any good. If you don’t like the outcome, appreciate the process. It’s all about fostering growth, and it almost always takes a little growing pain to get anywhere worthwhile.
