Wallpaper* – The Handmade Issue #1
Custom Covers Web App
A bespoke online app was developed with Kin Design. This allowed readers with a unique code to get hands on and play art director. Drawing from a library of assets (images, shapes, textures, patterns and text) Wallpaper* readers designed over 21,000 unique covers!
Anthony Burrill uses the online app to design his own cover. In this case, Anthony combined his trademark statements with textures and shapes from Nigel Robinson and James Joyce respectively.
Wallpaper* – Handmade Issue #1
Wallpaper’s ‘Handmade’ exhibition and issue were part of the magazine’s most ambitious project to date. Some of the world’s leading designers, manufacturers and craftsmen were brought together to produce over 100 unique pieces and products – from yachts to coffee blends, kitchens to crisps. And the exhibition was only the start of this extraordinary brand-defining project.
The August 2010 Handmade issue celebrated and documented the exhibition. It was printed on seven different paper stock with pull-out architectural models and different bound-ins.
The issue’s showpiece was the Custom Covers project, with interactive designers Kin enlisted to produce an online application that enabled readers to design their own cover (using elements supplied by creatives Anthony Burrill, James Joyce, Nigel Robinson, Kam Tang and Hort), then receive that cover bound onto the issue in the post! The project took months of planning and testing. Over 21,000 unique covers were printed, bound and delivered, making it a remarkable showcase for the positive and interactive integration of online and print.
