Considering this I have devised a scheme or red, white, and blue - These being the colours of the Union Jack, the national flag of the United Kingdom. These colours have long been used in achieving a quintessentially British aesthetic, naturally, as a result of the context provided by the flag design.
Additionally, feature of red and blue provides a more subtle, yet deeper context to the manifesto.
In regard to the relationship between politics and class, there are two leading political parties - Conservative and Labour - who each represent classes at either end of the spectrum.
The Conservative party is supported most typically by the wealthy, the privileged and those in leading professional occupations, and if often noted as being favouring of these higher-strata individuals in their policies and manifestos. The conservative colour is blue.
The Labour party, on the other hand, generally gains support from the lower, working classes of society. The labour colour is red.
Use of these colours supplies additional social comment, and by using the two colours together, this further reinforces the manifesto's call for equality among society.
I explored variations and quantity-combinations of the colours to explore which appeared most distinct. Feedback received on these (see below) detailed that the first manifesto design featuring a red title and blue body with white ground was the most easy to read and the most aesthetically pleasing of all the options.
