As Tiffany Meyers observes in her overview of the 100 winners, one can’t peg 2009 as the year of any specific color or typographic convention. But the winning projects are reflective of today’s increasingly diverse design discipline.

DESIGN 100: CATALOGS (cont'd)

28 CHEN DESIGN ASSOCIATES
This catalog is the foundational print piece for each season of the Stanford Lively Arts series of music, theater, dance, spoken-word and multimedia performance on the Stanford University campus. Chen Design Associates was asked to create a look and feel for the catalog, which the designers then expanded upon and applied to an array of materials including magazine covers, banners, invitations and a website.

“Performers at Stanford Lively Arts create groundbreaking work in their respective media,” explains creative director Josh Chen. “The look of this piece is intended to convey the rich and varied ways in which ‘Lively Arts’ turns traditional performance on its head.” Jenny Bilfield, artistic and executive director of Stanford Lively Arts, comments, “The new season brochure articulates the quality of our programming. It’s visually arresting. That Chen Design would take such a leap—and be so comfortable in doing so—says a lot about their creative capacity.” The catalog’s design manages the presentation of a wide range of disparate artists, each of whom supplied imagery, in a cohesive and innovative manner. “The client trusts in our unexpected design solutions,” Chen says, “and challenges us to solve their problems in unique ways.” by Terry Lee Stone
