Basia Irland : Repositories
“Working with Graeme was an adventure in creativity. Being an artist himself, his approach to designing a book for a fellow artist was inventive. Combining imaginative photo-based cover art and content pages, original map-making through out, and unique typeface, he visually narrated the story of a body of work as it was made at several locations over decades. The result was a playful yet handsome, old world meets contemporary art look. His attention to details, especially the paper selected, made for a consistency and special touch that the artist was looking for. I highly recommend Graeme for a design that stands out as original and supports the subject matter in an appropriate way. He is easy to work with and is very thoughtful in his response.”
