100 years of design manifestos

posted by Jason Kottke   Jul 24, 2009

John Emerson has collected a number of design manifestos dating back to 1909.

Since the days of radical printer-pamphleteers, design and designers have a long history of fighting for what's right and working to transform society. The rise of the literary form of the manifesto also parallels the rise of modernity and the spread of letterpress printing.
