The Brit Book

In my previous post, I mentioned the Brit Insurance Designs of the Year exhibition. I bought this year’s book and I absolutely love it. Normally, you’re just informed of the title of the work along with images from the exhibition, but this one includes the ‘blurb’ and concept and the judges comments, enabling you to see the two different sides, which in my opinion is just as interesting as the work itself. This little book has been a great source of inspiration, and I haven’t been able to put it down.

The cover design is another reason this is proving to be one of my favourite purchases. The different design sectors are debossed into the cover, and I admire how some are just cut off by the edge of the book. I love the contrast between the clean white stock and the subtle debossed finish against the shocking pink and bold type of the exhibition title. Love. It.
