Since its inception in 2017, Fedrigoni have collaborated with design studio TM (TsevdosMcNeil) to unite creatives in this publication. Once again, the UK creative community were invited to contribute a design that interpreted a date of the year provided to them at random. This year, a hand-selected group of international designers were also invited to participate, broadening the project’s reach even further. Together, these designers contributed to an endlessly diverse and vibrant time capsule of creative talent.
Assigned to one of two palettes (orange or green), designers were invited to consider how shuffling a range of colours could influence their design. While they could use the full palette of ten colours, it was up to each designer to decide how many colours in total would be used in their own design. What feels particularly different about this year’s edition is the collaboration between designers and print technology, that sees the former give up full control of how colour is expressed in their designs. Used for the first time at this unprecedented scale, the HP Mosaic tool has applied algorithms to randomly shuffle colours within each design to make different combinations in each book. These designs are printed to range of specially treated white papers from Fedrigoni’s Digital for HP Indigo® printing collection.
