Catalyst is a magazine released annually by what was formerly known as the Alberta College of Art + Design, now Alberta University of the Arts. The piece celebrates the school’s success in art, craft and design and tells the stories of its students, faculty and alumni.
Previously, a fragmented and busy aesthetic had overpowered the content of this publication, so we were asked to create a focused, understated layout and design that would allow the art and alumni being featured to take the spotlight. Honest, candid photography complemented this aesthetic nicely. We especially like the centre spread fold-out with valuable facts and figures about the school, and the oversized format.
