An Incomplete Manifesto for Growth

__________.
Leaving a space is useful because it will allow you to add notes, or ideas, or to keep time for emergencies. In classes, when you take notes, you need to keep some space between the head points, for later use, in case you want to add more explanation or notes.

Take field trips
It is very important for any one to see things on its nature. Leaving the home or office or class to go to a field of the incident would develop our experience and knowledge about the real life. A designer should go and look to the real things to see it on its nature. That will allow designer to give a design closer to the fact or desire.

Don't borrow money.
Borrowing money is one of the scatterbrains. It is preventing a person or a designer from having clear imagination or creativity. I think not only borrowing money, but also any distracter that would create a barrier from having clear thinking and imagination.

Think with your mind
Technology was made to help us in make decision but it is not made to make a decision. Finally it is our choice that would make the final result. It is very important to invigorates our creativity and expand our thinking to make the best choice of decision. Technology has a limited choices but human being has many different choices. We should not fully depend on technology.

Income Tax Propaganda



I found this cartoon as an interesting propaganda. It is about income tax. In this cartoon show, a very famous character during the period of WWII, which is Donald Duck, was used to catch the attention of audience because it was a funny character. The purpose with this cartoon is to send a message about tax and how employee should pay tax before anything else and forbids him or herself from entertainment. At the same time, this cartoon shows how the tax money was used. Using this character at that time sent a very strong message to people who had different interpretations for the message.
