Introduction
By the time you read this
introduction, February’s judging will
have been long forgotten, the
awards distributed and May’s gala
night hangovers recovered from.
The dust will be settled after the
highs and lows of winning and not
winning. Everything will be back
in perspective, just as the little black
dresses and tuxedos have been
hung back in the wardrobe. Now
you can look through the selected
work from 2011 and give it a
proper assessment.
Or perhaps you’re reading this in 10
years’ time. What does 2011 look
like from there? I have a series of 10
annuals on my bookshelf, and looking
through them, it’s clear each is a
record of its time.
The books themselves reveal subtle
shifts in visual trends –the cover
designs, the recent revise of the
SPD logo, the increased use of
embossing and special inks all speak
of recent trends.
But inside the books is where the
real story begins. Yes, each one
starts with the big winners, but
they are just the appetizers. From
those opening pages on, each book
develops into a unique record of
editorial design work from a single
year. From book to book, trends
emerge and fade. Photographic
styles loom large, then disappear,
only to return a few years later.
Particular typographic references
regularly appear, and in a more
general sense, the intensity of the
page designs have increased as more
control is exercised via the designer’s
mouse. I encourage you to dust
o the annuals on your book shelf
and take a look yourself.
