First Things First Manifesto, Ken Garland

- 'We are proposing a reversal of priorities in favour of the more useful and lasting forms of communication'

2014 addition

- 'we are troubled by the present state of our industry and its effects on cultures and societies across the world

- 'some of use have lent our expertise to initiatives that abuse the law and human rights, defeat critical system of encryption and privacy, and put lives at risk'

This manifesto recognises the impact that graphic design can have on society and what can be done to change this to a positive rather than the negative that has already been done. From the adjustments made to the original manifesto that have occurred in 2000 and then again in 2014 demonstrate that there are still ways in which improvements can be made to the way designers communicate with their audience for a worthwhile purpose.
