A Manifesto For The Social Age: Explaining Concepts (beta v.2)

I want a meme to use to discuss my approach to my writing and my brand promise. Currently, this is the TMWK Manifesto.

Can I do better? For sure, I wrote the original in 30 minutes, in the spirit of the Manifesto of Done.

Beta v.1 stripped everything back to the headers – but perhaps asks too much of the viewer to “get it.”

I know! Let’s add back in some verbiage, so that each concept stands alone as a possible aha moment for the reader.

But what do we get with more “stuff”? More design clutter.

In an act of real courage, I showed beta v.2 to two talented designers I work with. After a stunned silence and a gulp for air, they gave me the feedback I already knew:

where does the eye move?
there is clash
each artifact deserves its own image in order to breathe (rather than trying to box them all in together)
it is VERY visual!
