From the session on Monday we all said we would go away and rewrite the manifesto so when we meet again we can combine this into a master piece of writing. This is what I came up with.
We are an online creative community who host monthly, themed competitions where artists, illustrators and designers can have their work promoted and made available to purchase. The submitted artwork is judged anonymously so everyone sits on an even platform irrespective of previous experience. We aim to finance a sustainable and profitable business while giving our artists a fair percentage and providing quality products for our buyers. It is important to us to promote the artwork in an ethical way and build an honest, friendly relationship with our artists.
I think this includes everything I see to be important about our business but it will be good to see what the others have written because I know that I will have missed some things out. I think the tone of voice of this sounds a bit formal and we always seem to slip into a formal style of writing when working as a group. It is hard to draw the line of how informal / formal this should be because we want to be a respected company who conducts themselves professionally but we don't want to seem too formal that it is off-putting for people with not much experience or just draw for fun.
As for name ideas, I'm finding it really hard to think of anything good that is relevant to the theme of drawing or illustration because as soon as you try to incorporate these words, the name suddenly doesn't sound as good. I personally think the random, unconnected names are better but this is something that could pop into our heads at any time. I need to discuss with the rest of the group the route we are going to take with thinking of our business name.
