What does a manifesto look like? Traditionally, it was a literal manuscript presented in the hand of the author who penned it. Today, we have computers and multimedia. Presenting your manifesto so it’s visually engaging and interesting is a crucial part of sharing and spreading your idea.

No words here. Perhaps it’s a little cryptic and it is aiming to represent the manifesto visually.
For a future blog post we’re compiling a list of the most visually appealing manifestos. If you find one or have a favourite add a comment below and we’ll add them to our list.
