The BA Illustration 2011 graduate catalogue OVO: Camberwell College Class of 2011 present … was designed by Joseph Hales of Fraser Muggeridge and edited by Billie Muraben. The idea was to curate the content in a way that gave it more of a lifespan than the standard catalogue format. The work was organised by chapter according to discipline, and the visual content, biographies and contact details were separated to give each contributors more weight, past being pages of ‘business cards’.
A discussion between Darryl Clifton and Adrian Shaughnessy about the function of art education covering the concept of perpetual university, the impact of socio-economic climates on art funding, skill as a vehicle for expression and the question of why it is important to separate graphic design and illustration as independent practices was commissioned specifically for the catalogue.

It was printed offset litho by Aspect Press using three paper stocks for the cover, text and visual content to highlight the importance of the sections. The main challenge in terms of design and production was ensuring that everyone’s work was represented equally. 3D, 4D and small-scale projects were particularly difficult as was ensuring that everything was scanned or photographed at the same quality to give the book continuity and retain a decent standard.
It was printed B5 in an edition of 500 and is available at Material and BEACH London.
