Cupid’s Manifesto from graphic design company More Than Words is a magical moment-by-moment reminder of all the actions we can take to help those around us feel truly loved every day…

The hand-pulled screenprint Rules To Love By are Cupid’s Manifesto brought to typographical life, and it includes all those things we know to do, but often forget to follow through with in the daily dash. Things such as: Never go to bed on an argument, Accept your partner for who they are, Surprise each other, Apologise when you are in the wrong, Laugh together, Forgive and forget, Plan adventures, Always kiss goodnight, Be spontaneous, Remember why you fell in love, Have your own space, Be the best of friends, Live your dreams… Oh those things that we forget to even do for ourselves!!

There is significant psychological research that has shown how being actively grateful to the people around you also benefits the person doing the thanking… so even when you might not feel like some of these things are justified, just remember that it also adds up to a happier you and a happier home. And – if the writing is on the wall, so to speak, with these Rules To Love By – those around you might just be reminded to offer a dose of appreciation for you too…

Designer Details More Than Words was launched in 2010 by creative designer Lisa Long, whose lifetime love of interiors, graphic design and typography led her to look for fabulous art for her home after taking time out of a busy career to raise her two young children. From their company headquarters in Berkshire, UK, More Than Words have since created an award-winning global brand, commissioned by thousands of customers around the world including Dannii Minogue, journalist India Knight, comedian Michael McIntyre, and screenwriter/film director Richard Curtis.
