The First Things First 2000 Manifesto was a manifesto that was published in 2000 by many designers and artists. It was created to encourage people to think more critically and carefully about how they used their creativity. In the manifesto, the creators argued that we should focus on creating high-quality work, instead of just creating things for the sake of making money. They encouraged people to think about the meaning and value of their work, instead of chasing after fame and profit. They also argued that we should prioritize projects and initiatives that have a more positive impact on the world over those that just make money.
