I don't think that worked just look up "Manifesto" by Mary Ann Caws in google books.

Manifesto Brief



So yeah... You've all spent time with your typeface. Set it large on a poster. Researched its origin. Seen it action. Formed your own opinion of it. Given all this information you now have, you are to research the convention of Manifesto. You are then to choose a manifesto that best fits the knowledge you have of your typeface. You must then present the manifesto set in your typeface. The format of your manifesto is entirely up to you (poster, booklet, projection, model, sculpture, painting, photograph... etc) but should be directly linked to the intention of the manifesto. You must complete this project (along with your previous projects) for mid year submission on June 5.

Also take a look at this article Manifesto Mania by Ellen and Julia Lupton, its has a good definition of what a manifesto is and has some interesting links through to some design related manifestos.
