Matca Space for Photography
48 Ngoc Ha, Ba Dinh, Hanoi/h4>
From the organizer:
TSwiss graphic designer Ann Griffin will give a talk about the book-making process, showcasing a selection of her past photobook projects. She will touch on various aspects of an editorial graphic design practice from the perspective of an independent designer who closely collaborates with publishers and photographers from Switzerland and abroad.
The talk introduces the process from the creative concept to design to production. Ann will share several book projects of different scales – including those from a small publisher, self-published, a master’s degree project, and a major international publisher, explaining in-depth the context, roles of people involved, and differences in the working process.
The event is organized by Matca and supported by the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia.
