DESIGN THEORY <

In 2003 Kevin Finn founded the independent design journal Open Manifesto under the modest banner 'Some thoughts on graphic design'. In the fifteen years that followed, Open Manifesto proved to be a lot more, and threw out the rule book of what a design journal should be.

While always delivering a heady mix of knowledge and optimism, Open Manifesto exhibited astonishing breadth, exploring how design intersects across social, cultural, political and economic fields.  It sought to understand the way design permeates our lives - past, present and future. 

An unsung gem obsessively read by those in the know, Open Manifesto featured essays by and interviews with a host of high profile international thinkers and practitioners, the finest of which are gathered here.
