The Incomplete Manifesto For Growth

I was thoroughly inspired by Bruce Mau's Incomplete Manifesto for Growth. I felt it was very insightful and it portrayed the Bruce Mau group as a very thoughtful, wise, and interesting group of designers/human beings. Bruce Mau Design is actually a multidisciplinary design firm that is made up of many graphic designers. This group "specializes in brands and environments," and also seem to do quite a bit of work in typography. The Incomplete Manifesto for Growth is just one of their design projects. My mantra for the day would be "Make Mistakes Faster." This mantra would have been a good thing to read earlier this morning before I seemingly wasted about seven hours slaving over pointless backgrounds and irrelevant design aspects. I feel this mantra is telling me to manage my time better, work faster, don't get caught up on the small stupid things in my designs, and get the mistakes out of the way. In doing these things, I may not waste full days anymore, and might reach the end goal quicker. I think that all designers can learn from Bruce Mau's Incomplete Manifesto for Growth.
