New Work: ‘365: AIGA Year in Design 29’
AIGA members, start watching your mailboxes: your copy of 365: AIGA Year in Design 29 will be arriving soon. Designed by Paula Scher, this year’s annual marks the book’s return to a larger format, measuring eight-by-ten inches and containing 368 full-color pages of the year’s best graphic design. “My major goal for the annual’s design was to make it bigger,” says Scher.
The cover has been printed in four different colors (to help distinguish your copy from your studiomate’s) and features a concentric motif that is carried throughout the interior pages in the form of the table of contents, end pages and color-coded chapter openers.
Selections from Year in Design 29 can be found online through the AIGA Design Archives or at the 365: AIGA Annual Design Exhibition 29 being held at the National Design Center in New York through 20 February. The annual will also be available through Chronicle Books in early 2009.

Design Team: Paula Scher, partner-in-charge; Lenny Naar, designer; Jessica Walsh, designer and photographer.
