Episode Synopsis "EVERPRESS MEETS 03: Type in Focus with Fraser Muggeridge"
Fraser Muggeridge’s eponymous graphic design studio is, in a word, multifaceted. Their output spans everything from artists’ books to exhibition catalogues, posters and websites, not to mention album covers. One of their latest, for Hot Chip’s A Bath Full of Ecstasy, leant in heavily to an anti-graphic design aesthetic. “I liked the fact that the Hot Chip cover was really boring, I liked the idea that it was almost like they couldn't afford a decent designer, or even a colour printer,” says Fraser. “This is an example of me as a designer intentionally getting into hot water with the design layouts, and then using a creative word to get out of the hole that I’ve made.”
