Recent graphic design and illustration graduate Lol Gallimore, previously based in Liverpool, has now moved to the Netherlands to continue her career in design. Gallimore’s particular passion is publication design, in all formats; hand-binded, bespoke books, catalogues and loose leaf structured formats. Characterised by bright, vibrant colours usually created through a risograph printing process right through to quiet tones with more of a focus on type and paper texture, Gallimore’s work is wonderfully playful and experimental.
Publication design is an art and Gallimore loves to experiment with beautifully made papers, how the colours and textures overlap and bounce off of one another, how the ink sits on the paper, all the way to what technique will be used to bind the spine. There’s several components to consider when designing a publication from how it’ll be crafted, to the intelligent context to paper quality and content to its print process and binding. The tangibility of printed matter and archiving it on a shelf is something that Gallimore and ourselves share as something we both enjoy in a digital age where the longevity of content is often short lived.
“To me, print is an excellent way of solidifying a concept, setting a tone and engaging other senses than just visual. The experimentation process of a project is when it’s most enjoyable for me, my approach is often to just act and then react; I love when a concept or an idea develops organically.” — Lol Gallimore
