Printed matter that I designed for the Edinburgh Art Festival Commissions Programme 2022 interpretation material. Consisting of one booklet and three leaflets, it was designed to present a cohesive identity for the commissions programme, with a common typographic stye and layout as well as a colour, taken from the EAF programme guide, which I also worked on.
I used different weights of Proxima Nova to create a hierarchy of information in a layout that is adaptable to the different content for each leaflet. Full bleed images from each commission have been used to create impact on the cover. The leaflets (for Community Wellbeing Collective, Nadia Myre, and Pester and Rossi) are 8 page double-gatefolds, folded to 165mm x 210mm while the Channels booklet is 24 pages plus cover, trimmed to the same size – this is the size of the books, booklets, and leaflets that I have designed for EAF in previous years, building a connected set of print that documents the Edinburgh Art Festival’s growing series of artists’ commissions.
