First Things First Manifesto - Book and 6-poster set

The original First Things First manifesto was written in 1963 by British designer Ken Garland and 20 of his contemporaries calling for a more humanistic approach to design in an age of mass consumerism. It's solution was to focus the efforts of designers on education and public service tasks that promoted the betterment of society. In 2000 the manifesto was updated by Garland with a new list of signatories of designers but with the same core values and call to action as the original. 

The ISTD (International Society of Typographic Designers) set a brief to produce a book and poster set to promote Ken Garland's influential manifesto.

My solution features a boxed-set of a book and 6 posters printed on braille paper with parts of the manifesto printed in braille throughout.
