Open Manifesto: Change

Open Manifesto is an independent journal of critical writing, which focuses on the intersection of design with social, cultural, political and economic issues. In issue 8, Michael Bierut, influential designer and partner at Pentagram, reflects on his early design career and shares the context around his identity for the 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign. Jessica Walsh, designer and partner at Sagmeister&Walsh, challenges the notion that design can change the world. Dutch innovator, Daan Roosegaarde, talks about his passion for prototyping the future of cities. Real life cyborg Neil Harbisson shares how his art helped him become a cyborg and an unintentional spokesperson for the international cyborg community. Influential type aficionados Rudy VanderLans and Kris Sowersby face off in a debate around promotional tactics and the next generation of type designers, while digital entrepreneur, Ben Johnston, talks about the beauty, challenge and opportunity of exploring the future.
