The Wallpaper*Architects Directory 2012
Truly international, consistently intelligent and hugely influential, Wallpaper* is the world's most important design and style magazine. This piece of literature was produced to accompany an exhibition showing 20 architects from around the world. The exhibition was sponsored by Land Securities.
The finished size is 99x210mm which folds in half and then concertina folds out to an A2 size (420x594mm). Printed offset litho in CMYK throughout.Front...Click on images to enlarge |
The designer on the project was Claudine Cockburn and as it happens, I still have her original brief, which is as follows: "I am working on a little catalogue project for an up and coming exhibition we are hosting in a few weeks time. The exhibition features architecture works from our directory which have been stitched by Peter Crawley onto thick slightly off white textured paper. The catalogue is actually going to be an A2 poster which will fold out and be given out at the exhibition. We will need around 700 posters. I wondered firstly, with our design we would like a little show through on the paper but ideally a little texture too" You can see the excellence of the commissioned artwork (both sides) in the below image...My suggestion was possibly a rather unusual one, it was our Modigliani Candido 95gsm, from Gruppo Cordenons. It's really rather hard to demonstrate on a job like this, just how perfectly the material works with the artwork, it is simply superb. The underlying texture from the original artwork, which is scanned and printed has reproduced perfectly and you get the texture in the feel, through your fingers. Just to demonstrate, I have taken an image of the texture of the Modigliani, which is a feltmarked paper here...
Anyway, this is one small project that I'm particularly pleased about my involvement with - looks (and feels) as good today as it did nine years ago.
