STEP INSIDE
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. In fact, one has to wonder if there is any longer such a thing as a design discipline—in light of today’s fast-changing and even amorphous practice, the word discipline seems a little out of place.

DESIGN 100: CATALOGS (cont'd)

30 BILI´C MÜLLER STUDIO
Danijel Srdarev is a prolific Croatian artist with a distinctive style and a wide range of interests. For an earlier exhibition, Lanterna Magica, having to do with artistic transformations related to shadow and light, his catalog covers were full of holes … made by Srdarev himself, calling the writer William S. Burroughs to mind (Burroughs perforated some book covers of his own, using a rifle).

This catalog/portfolio was created for Srdarev as a promotion for his exhibition Theater of Drawings at Galerija Križi ´c Roban in 2007. The principles characterizing Srdarev’s work, the designers explain in appropriately elliptical language, are translated into the book itself: “When examining the rhythm of his drawings, it may seem to us that they are rather forced and nervous pieces of art, determined by a constant need to comment both on the ephemeral, everyday structure of life and on certain permanent, valid situations that he seeks to share with others. Is it some sort of opening up?” The dominant element in the book, however, is the drawing. The art is beautifully reproduced. The cover and jacket, with their demonstrative lines, were made by the artist—by hand—in a practice that manages to look not unlike a signature. by Romy Ashby
