Think, Reflect, Act. A manifesto about purpose. A call to action towards the creative process. This manifesto explores the question of what our purpose is in life, reasoning that our purpose is to live with intention, expand our ability and gain overview.
The first edition of “Think, Reflect, Act. A manifesto about purpose.” is a limited edition booklet that can unfold into a poster contained in a translucent envelope so it is easy to share with people. The printing technique used is Riso printing. A technology from Japan developed in the 80s by the Riso Kagaku Corporation. The goal of Riso was to be able to spread information as efficiently as possible, which fits in perfectly with the purpose of the booklet.
When unfolded, the booklet transforms into a beautifully illustrated poster by Olf de Bruin. It features a funky spaceship, resembling the present moment, as it journeys from a past planet to a future one.
