In 2003, the then Joint Creative Director at Saatchi Design, Sydney, 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 journalism, 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.
Open Manifesto featured essays by and interviews with a host of high profile international thinkers and practitioners, including designers Michael Bierut, Bob Gill, Milton Glaser, Paula Scher, Jessica Walsh, Wally Olins, Peter Saville, Ros Moriarty, Vince Frost and Rudy VanderLans. By extending its remit, contributions also came from a diverse range of individuals such as philosopher Edward de Bono, Academy Award winning film director Errol Morris, author Helen Walters, peace activist Rami Elhanan, psychologist Adam Grant, cultural tourism expert Helen Palmer, ex-CIA operative Larry J. Kolb, cyborg Neil Harbisson and real life superhero Master Legend, among many others.
