We, the undersigned, ore graphic designers, art directors and visual communicators who hove been raised in a world in which the techniques and apparatus of advertising have persistently been presented to us as the most lucrative, effective and desirable use of our talents. Many design teachers and mentors promote this belief; the market rewards it; a tide of books and publications reinforces it.
Encouraged in this direction, designers then apply their skill and imagination to sell dog biscuits, designer coffee, diamonds, detergents, hair gel, cigarettes, credit cards, sneakers, butt toners, light beer and heavy-duty recreational vehicles. Commercial work has always paid the bills, but many graphic designers have now let it become, in large measure, what graphic designers do. This, in turn, is how the world perceives design. The profession's time and energy is used up manufacturing demand for things that are inessential at best.
Many of us have grown increasingly uncomfortable with this view of design. Designers who devote their efforts primarily to advertising, marketing and brand development are supporting, and implicitly endorsing, a mental environment so saturated with commercial messages that it is changing the very way citizen-consumers speak, think, feel, respond and interact. To some extent we ore all helping draft a reductive and immeasurably harmful code of public discourse.
There ore pursuits more worthy of our problem-solving skills. Unprecedented environmental, social and cultural crises demand our attention. Many cultural interventions, social marketing campaigns, books, magazines, exhibitions, educational tools, television programs, films, charitable causes and other information design projects urgently require our expertise and help.
We propose a reversal of priorities in favor of more useful, lasting and democratic forms of communication - a mindshift away from product marketing and toward the exploration and production of a new kind of meaning. The scope of debate is shrinking; it must expand. Consumerism is running uncontested; it must be challenged by other perspectives expressed, in part, through the visual languages and resources of design.
In 1964, 22 visual communicators signed the original call for our skills to be put to worthwhile use. With the explosive growth of global commercial culture, their message has only grown more urgent. Todoy, we renew their manifesto in expectation that no more decodes will pass before it is taken to heart.

SPORTS STARS AND CELEBRITY
In 1951, television had yet to assert its hypnotic hold: the general interest magazine still held the mass American audience's gaze. Collier's recalls the victory covers that celebrated the end of the Second World War (colour the helmet green and you're there): the sports star as granite-jawed hero surrounded by a jubilant, adoring crowd. By 1978, Muhammad Ali—his celebrity elevated to the point where he can be signified by a single three letter word, almost anywhere in the world—is represented by Rolling Stone in more ambiguous terms, the hands that have made his fortune and fame almost occupying as much of the frame as his face. The jaw may be still set strong, but the eyes, in their penetrating directness, suggest depth and sensitivity. A decade later, sports celebrity has taken another cultural turn. "Boris Becker Inc.: A Star and His Money", reads Newsweek's cover line. Whilst the representation of personal talent and power is there in the shot, a dynamic study in muscle and sinew, the story is all about financial clout. Becker's own trajectory after the end of his playing career is spookily emblematic of where sports celebrity went next: downhill into sexual drama, marriage break-up, financial scandal and the inevitable career rebirth... as a media celebrity.

HOW 4.1 F E CHANGED FOR.ti Linu? PRINCES
CELEBRmf ROYALS
It has been nolad that, bclone Ihe invention of modern Celehrity the nn-y comparable groups to enjoy such notoriety were cods and royally.
Magazine covers through Ihe early decades of Ihe twentieth century certainly represented a crossover period between Ihe royals—deilies n Ever seemed to do that well in terms of cover presence—and the movie stars who inaugurated the age of celebrity. Tlie problem for royally was lhat editors kept them on i ha cove r out oT a sense of duty, whereas movie stars reflected Ihe audience's desires. Add ihe (act that much European royalty was unattractive and unfashionable (Americans enjoyed Ihe advantage of not having to dear all this dead wood out of tho way betore they could get on with being modern) and it becomes abwDus that it wasn't much of a contest. Royalty, at course, did not subsequently disappear from the ouftural agenda: it became another specialist interest Ejbjsct. as these covers ol hfejssty magazine demonstrate- Bui it has often been driven to adopt many of the lurid characteristics of 'proper' Krcbrity in order lo maintain a position on mainstream magazines.

mediation of a mainstream music press. Sniffin' Glue, the so-called bible of the punk movement, was founded by Mark Perry in July 1976 and folded by him a year later, a victim of its own success, having increased its circulation from 50 copies to 15,000. Tony Drayton started the influential Ripped & Torn in Glasgow around the same time. It lasted until 1979. Situation 3 was closely associated with the seminal Rough Trade record shop and narrowly escaped prosecution in Scotland after featuring an erect penis on the cover of one issue.

There seem to have been design magazines for as long as the discipline has existed: their covers articulate a shifting polemic on what design actually means. Gebrauchsgraphik Jahrgang, founded in Berlin in 1924, was influential in spreading
ARTISTS AND ART MAGAZINES IN THE EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY
The disruptive artistic movements of the twentieth century enjoyed a symbiotic relationship with the specialist publications that promoted their ideas and disseminated their artworks and writings. Minotaure, 1933 to 1939, was a sumptuous Surrealist publication with fantastic covers, colour printing and work by leading figures such as Picasso, Dali and in this case Max Ernst. The now rare Blad Voor Kunst was an outlet for Expressionist artists in The Netherlands. Transatlantic title Broom, launched in 1921, was a template for the twentieth century 'little' literary review, an 'aristocratic format' that showcased experimental writing and painting with luxurious production values, Another product of the seemingly endless supply of publishers willing to fund the promotion of Modernism, Transition billed itself as "An International Quarterly for Creative Experiment". As well as publishing works in progress by writers such as Joyce and Kafka, it also featured artworks by the likes of Hans Arp, Paul Klee, Alberto Giacometti, Kurt Schwitters and, the creator of this cover, Joan Miro. Despite looking like an organ of Constructivism, Revue Cenpa was actually a splendidly produced 1950s showcase for the French trade organisation representing printers and paper manufacturers. This issue came wrapped in a characteristic illustration by Fernand Leger.
