This publication was a challenge because it represents the work of 40 artists from the early 20th century through today. The artwork varied greatly, so there had to be some element in the design to tie all the work together. The curator focused on art that has been influenced by industrial paint colors, so we used the colors from the offset printing process to reiterate the theme. Each section title (the artist’s name, birthplace and dates) was printed in magenta. Below that there is a quotation by the artist, which is printed in cyan. The divider pages were also process colors: solid pages of cyan, magenta, yellow and black. The bookbinding cloth is cyan and the endpapers are process yellow. 

A well-balanced look.

A cover where the design plays a fantastic role in featuring the colorful art.
