This is the catalogue that accompanies artist Kamil Kuskowski’s exhibition, The Truth of Painting, which ran earlier in the year at the Piekary Gallery in Poznan, Poland. Seven different stocks, coated and coloured, were utilised to accentuate several techniques used by the artist within his work. There are four chapters in the catalogue, each with its own distinct colour and paper stock. The aim was to allude to the techniques and bold colours used by the artist but at the same time keep it simple and uncluttered, which is in keeping with the artists work.
This is a lovely piece, I particularly like the layouts that have been employed and designed with the arrangement of the typography. All aspects brought together have produced a very successful final piece.

An unlikely pairing has been made when Tom Gauld, a comic artist, was requested to produce a series of art work which would appear on Diet Coke cans. The unfortunate part of this is that they only were released in America. The idea behind these designs was to elevate the awareness of a woman’s heart health programme called The Heart Truth. As well as producing this art work he went unto create some animations that were also used within this campaign. You can view two of them here.
If you want to view more of his work you can do so by visiting tomgauld.com. He is renowned for the work that he has produced for comic books and these have appeared in The Guardian.
I really like his work and they appear so simple but they create a completely different look to that of a normal drinks can.

Thank you and well done to all the First Year students who took part in last week’s off campus project in the Haymarket near Smithfield. Student photography was projected onto gable walls and student design work is exhibited in vacant shops in the area. The range of activities undertaken was very gratifying and I hope this will develop confidence for further events of this kind. Thnks to Chris Higgins for these pictures.
