Catalogue demonstrate an impressive commitment to independent publishing

Since 2011 Catalogue have operated a design studio between London and Leeds, creating branding, exhibition design and print products for an incredible collection of cultural clients. They’ve handled Yorkshire’s excellent Beacons Festival, popped up at Beach London, branded a tape-only record label and made British brand The National Skateboard Co. look seriously respectable. All great pieces of work.

But what really differentiates Catalogue from their peers is their relentless approach to independent publishing. Since their inception they’ve produced a constant stream of publications and zines, ranging from the dirty and lof-fi to the incredibly polished. Top of their roster is Library Paper, a slick bit of print that showcases the work of designers and illustrators at the cutting edge of their field, giving them a platform to speak about themselves and their work in an incredibly open way. Issue 05 includes features on our favourites Jiro Bevis, Tom Sewell and Simon Whybray as well as a plethora of other great creatives. Have a look at the latest issue on their site, and then make sure you check out the other great publications they’ve got on sale too. Lovely stuff.
