It might sound bad - and I don't mean to ditract from the finalists' work, which obviously was the whole point of the degree show - but one of the things I was most excited about was this years catalogue. It.is.amazing. It seems my obsession with magazines extends further than the glossies and hi-fash, gaah!
The layout this year moved away sharply from previous years, and instead of just a place to print the finalists names, it is almost a work of curatorial art in itself.
The catalogue begins and ends with double page spreads showcasing the finalists previous works, while the middle houses the more traditional list of finalists, each with thier own page. What makes it extra special is the QUALITY of the book - the paper is reminiscent of the uncoated pages of Man About Town, while the layout was definately The Gentlewoman/ Fantastic Man. It is designed by finalists Owen Chapman and Christian Tilt, and you can tell theyve put a shit load of work into it. It has deffo got me inspired for next year! Here are my favourite pages.
