Kirsty Carter from APFEL at Camberwell

Second year FdA students are currently working on an editorial design project with Kirsty Carter from ‘A Practice for Everyday Life’. The project involves them reinterpreting a job that APFEL worked on in 2007 called ‘Cineclub’ for the Venice Biennale. Kirsty kicked off the project with a presentation of APFEL’s work, stressing the importance of an understanding of content to successful typographic design. To illustrate this she took the students through a case study of the redesign of the ‘Architecture Journal’ highlighting the importance of the input of the editorial team at AJ to this project.
