"Karimanifesto"

Karim Rashad is a creative design specialist/artist. You can see his work at www.karimrashid.com. He has a manifesto called "Karimanifesto.  It is a list of 50 points that regard life and design.  I have read 10 of his points and there is one that stands out to me. He states that "normal is not good."  I appreciate this point, because as i desire to be a very creative person in all aspects of arts and media. The norm is not popular. People want original, unique, one-of-a-kind products.  Sure, you could possibly have your work noticed if you proceed on "normal" terms with your creativity, but you will always be over-shadowed by the unique things.  Would you rather look at a picture of a campfire, or a campfire with arms and legs fighting elephants and Charlie Sheen!!! Okay, maybe not to that extent, but the bottom line is that people want to be fascinated with your work, and they also want to not be able to compare your work with somone else's.  Creativity come from yourself, not to re-create something that is "normal."  Karim Rashad does a fantastic job with creating unique art.  You can defiantly tell he strives off of creativity.  Before I even surfed around his sight, just the background and layout of his website was not "normal."
