"Fedrigoni 365 is a project by design studio TM to commemorate the year 2018 by asking leading UK-based creatives to contribute a piece of work to a design compendium, which takes the form of the Fedrigoni annual Calendar.
The result of this process is a striking black tome that holds 365 single-colour designs within. Each design was created as an interpretation of a date that was provided at random to each participant. Confines were established to challenge each designer’s creativity by restricting the book to one paper and one colour print, which forced their pieces to focus strictly on concept, shape and form.
The brief was created to be deliberately restrictive, although there were slight concerns that it may be too limiting and could result in designs that were much of a muchness. It turned out that these worries were unfounded. The Calendar has organically shaped into a beautiful visual story whose pace varies from page to page, and spread to spread.
All proceeds will be going directly to the Make-A-Wish charity."
My portfolio was accepted and they asked me to design August 9th, so I had the number 9 to design. My 9 can be seen in the exhibition below:
Beyond the inherent irony of an exclusive interface designer being featured in a paper foundry's physical print exhibition, anything that positively gets my name out there is good.
