8vo
On the outside.
Lars Müller, 2005.
536pp.
16 x 12 cm.
Written, edited and designed by Mark Holt and Hamish Muir, ‘On the outside’ surveys 8vo’s work over the seventeen-years of the studio’s existence.
The book tells it how it happened; working with clients and the everyday challenges of running an office. The emphasis is on process – the book shows how jobs were made, rather than focussing only on finished projects. Like many of their contemporaries, 8vo were working during a period of profound technological change in the design profession – ‘On the outside’ places 8vo’s work in this context, charting the change from paste-up to desk-top. Copies of ‘On the outside’ can be purchased directly from Lars Müller Publishers.
