Layout

A lot of spacing, empty texts in conrners, make readers to turn pages

The use of bold letters makes people less bored of reading it, however seeing as there’s 104 pages doesn’t say so for people that doesn’t like reading

2. Making notes

I believe …..

Respect is key

Personal spaces

Spaces

Comfort

Public

Privacy

Equality


I want to …..

Treat other people you want to be treated

Equality for people

Respect other people’s privacy

Carefree

Thoughtful


I know this to be true …..

You give respect = You get respect

Respect is a two way street

Respect is for those who deserve it, not for those who demand it

Personal space is like an invisible bubble that surrounds you and makes you feel safe


In reflection to my part 2, since I focused on privacy I am thinking of doing my manifesto on privacy or boundaries.

After reading/ looking through other manifestos I think I quite like simple (not much going on) to avoid boredom and more eye catching

Ideas:

“Maifesto for privacy”

“Manifesto for reaching out boundaries”

“Manifesto for respect”

“Manifesto for personal spaces”

Tones:

Serious

Simple fonts (engaging, eye catching,)

Gets my point across

Layout:

Spaced out

Spaces

Equality

Various sizes of letters


Word vomit

We live in a time of constant change, where people treat public social places like a private space.

We need to respect other people’s personal space like how we want other people to respect ours.

Caring, thoughtful, NO to selfishness,
