Chapter Four/ Five Exhibition

 Chapter Four / Five logo design | Photo taken at the preview night

Chapter Four/ Five is an exclusive exhibition held for limited time at the Leeds Central Library featuring the work of Leeds College of Arts level four and five Graphic Design students. The featured work consists of book cover re-designs of seminal texts in their own personal interpretation bringing a more contemporary feel to the dated academic works.

In the exhibition the covers are displayed in a grid-like pattern with each one standing as a poster for the chosen theorist, philosopher or culture theory book. The level fours had to also produce a full 'jacket' for the book complete with a front, back, spine, blurb, publisher logo and ISBN number but that wasn't displayed in the show. The level fives had to produce the cover using a process of their own choice but limit themselves to only two colours plus stock.

Some of the works I managed to photograph during the preview night

I really enjoyed the exhibition as it is was a fresh insight into what the Graphic Design students have been working towards at the end of the year. The work was professional, the atmosphere was buzzing and the beer was refreshing. Nothing particularly stood out to me as they were all quite similar in style and colour but that was probably because they were all based on similar books. This however did not detract from the overall quality and effort that was obviously put into designing them and above all it was a great evening with a great selection of design.
