There are two parts to this assignment.

  • The first is to offer your definition of the words “design” and “manifesto.”
    To do this, click on the discussion link below and add your thoughts. When you are done, hit “Go Back to Event” to access the second part.
  • The second (scroll down to the second window) is to offer an item that you think should be in a d.lab design manifesto. To do this, click on “Ask a Question” and read through the list of submitted items and vote for the ones that you like. Then add any other items that you think are important.
