Shaping the future

Lifetime Achievement Manifesto - A tribute by Italian graphics to the Compasso d'Oro masters

During the inauguration of the new ADI Design Museum - Compasso d'Oro, a specific section dedicated to the 142 Compassi d'Oro for Lifetime Achievement was celebrated. We were asked to create a poster-tribute to the Compasso d'Oro 2014 dedicated to the Apple company. Apple has always recognized design as a fundamental component of the products and services that have revolutionized our way of life. The idea of the manifesto is that of a symbolic synthesis where past, present and future give shape to a meeting of the tangible and intangible, analogue and digital: the perforated ribbon of the first calculators and the Command key. To know one's past and to know oneself are the foundations on which to build the future.
