Formist Editions, the Sydney-based publishers, are soon to release a handsome volume featuring a carefully collected set of works from the first ten years of fellow Sydney-based creative studio Christopher Doyle & Co..
Christopher Doyle & Co. specialise in visual and verbal identity, creative direction, campaigns, and digital design. The 150-page publication, Nothing I Know Belongs To Me, collates the studio’s favourite music covers, posters, trademarks, and identities created over the past decade.
The title of the book references studio principal Christopher Doyle’s love of the thoughts of Paul Arden; “If you give away everything you have, you are left with nothing. This forces you to look, to be aware, to replenish. Ideas are open knowledge”. And that’s what Doyle has done here, sharing his insightful thoughts about the book’s key content chapters of music, posters, trademarks and identity, along with a candid conversation between himself and fellow designer Gabby Lord.
Nothing I Know Belongs to Me showcases he studio’s signature graphic style, employing a striking use of the written word in combination with typography and photography. Often irreverent, always intelligent, Christopher Doyle & Co. have a habit of distilling communication in curious and beautiful ways. These works exhibit the diversity of companies and individuals who have entrusted the studio, from the worlds of theatre, music, architecture, cuisine, visual arts, film and photography, with clients including The Jezebels, Huch, Sembla, Hay, Ortto, Deluca and Theatre Royal Sydney.
Pre-orders are available now from the Formist Editions online store, before launching on 3rd June.
Nothing I Know Belongs To Me will be launched at Sydney’s Semi Permanent design festival on June 2 with copies available to purchase on site. Learn more here.
