Frost*
Naturally this post will be barely legible as i have had no intake but coffee and cigarettes today.
That being excused it delights me to finally do this post.
Having come across this book in the library a few weeks ago, it has taken me a while to motivate myself and borrow it from my house mate Tim. Looking back i can't imagine why it's taken me so long, bearing in mind how beautiful it actually is. It's not so much the content that inspires me, but similar to 'Tibor' The layouts themselves as well as the fact everything is printed onto low GSM sugar paper, allowing the ink to seep into the pages and create a hazy, romantic, biographical narrative of Vince Frost's life in Graphic Design.
This was the book that even before 'Tibor' initially made me want to create a book of my own as it shows that the content may be dictated by the way in which it is presented.
It gives me an idea as to ways in which i may want to present my work in a concluding book and it's delicacy is something i too may wish to consider, although when the time comes such ethereality may be juxtaposed against cruder materials. The first two images serve a further purpose as inspiration to my deigning my own means of advertising material for Professional Development. The folded leaflets challenge shape in a way which interests me with my own and can act as an interesting piece of sculpture in their own right.
