A Post-Truth Manifesto 

A Post-Truth Manifesto is a broadsheet publication that features a collection of essays and articles from a variety of experts, journalists and historians dealing with the topic of Post-Truth. The publication also includes my self written manifesto on how to deal with living in the Post-Truth age. 

This publication is made to draw attention to the beginning of the Post-Truth era and the rise of fake news. 

The Manifesto is written encouraging the reader to throw away any worry or doubt of what the truth is and to embrace the certainty in uncertainty, if you believe its true its true. Through out the publication, uses of an abstracted version of Bastardville my self made font. Based on the most broken down forms of Baskerville That were repeatedly scanned and broken down until only the remnants of the typeface remain to reflect the truth being eroded in the Post-Truth era. Forming words on each page reflecting an element of Post-Truth.  

Eskapade Fraktur designed by TypeTogether,  a contemporary take on traditional black letter is used for headlines, referencing the use during the early printing press to contrast the saturation of digital media where most information is now sourced. 

I have also created images to accompany each article that is reactive to each piece.

The broadsheet newspaper was used as it is the most recognisable symbol of news and current events. Because Post-Truth has such a loose definition of what exactly it is and whether it exists at all, the layout has chaotic visual quality to it.
