It's finally here: NOISE 5 - the latest edition of the world-renowned series of design books by our friends at the Attik. As far as big design studio monographs go, the Noise series has a huge international following and each issue has become a collectors' edition.
Self-published with only a 3000 limited run, each book has cost over £200 to produce, resulting in a visual feast of experimental design and extensive print techniques. The book showcases over 250 pages of stunning design, using 9 different kinds of paper stocks and over 40 print finishes including hot foils, scratch-off inks, hi-build gloss varnishes, embossing and heat sensitive inks, and the result is a very tactile and very beautiful piece of work.
This book has been 3 years in the making so you can imagine that it's very hot property for those lucky enough to pre-order a copy. But since we're not just any old web design studio, no, Sizzle Media are one of the very few privileged enough to get a complimentary copy well before the book hits the stores!
Having pored over it since its arrival, we absolutely love it. It really is a work of art and has everything a designer could wish for and more. It's absolutely saturated with creativity and you genuinely sense the attention and effort that has gone in to the production – not to mention it cost a small fortune to produce!
Overall it’s a landmark piece of work by the Attik and a highly recommended purchase for any print or web designer when it does eventually hit the book stores.
Thanks to the Attik for our copy :)
