Graphic Design: Stunningly-documented publications from Maquette Et Mis En Page

Date
17 June 2013

We’ve talked before about the importance of graphic designers carefully documenting their work, but French graphic design studio Maquette Et Mis En Page have got it down to a fine art. The studio produce a large quantity of expertly designed printed volumes for predominantly fine art-based clients as well as exhibition way-finding systems and identities. Their work is excellent but their documentation is second-to-none, a talent that’s culminated in a luxurious website full of professionally-styled still-life shots that dare you to reach out and touch the books on your screen. Of course you can’t – which is distressing – but it’s enough of a cue to hunt down those tactile volumes for yourself and install them in your personal library to thumb at your leisure.
