OUGD502 - A Design Strategy: Catalogue

Link
Catalogue is an independent graphic design studio founded in 2010 in the North of England. We specialise in design for print, branding, identity, books, exhibition and web. We work for both commercial clients and on self initiated projects. 
Extended self initiated projects include an independent publishing platform Catalogue Library and a bi-annual magazine Library paper, both of which are stocked in shops worldwide.
I came across Catalogue while searching for different kinds of design agencies in Leeds. While I find their work is very different to mind, I do like some projects and find that it is quite refreshing to find a agency who really has a very clear vision and style to their work.

I also like the fact that this studio is mainly based in editorial design. That isn't something I have found previously. A lot of studios are mainly in branding, but to find one which has a larger interest in editorial is really great to see, especially because I enjoy editorial work myself.

I really like their use of image across all of their work. They mainly work with photographic images, and seem to like using them in monotone colours, contrasting against a text overlay.

Below is a selection of work which shows off the unique style of Catalogue.
