Originally published in 1964, Ken Garland’s ‘First Things First’ manifesto responds to the commercialisation of design and how it is degrading to the name of being a designer. He calls for a return to the more humanist approach to design and encourages us to better use our skills for influence. This re-design aims to modernise its message through its elaborate typographic story. Readers are required to partake in this journey where each layer of this book is intended to make the reader pause, think and reflect on the text.
