11th international contemporary artists' book fair

At the moment one of my projects for my graphic design course is to produce a book of 100. So, as a result we visited the fair being held at Leeds university. I could not believe what some people had achieved, there was such a diverse range of media, style, size and colour present at the fair I had no idea where to begin!

Reflecting back on my afternoon at the fair I have picked a collective of book artists and illustrators called 'Lucky Dip'. I loved their work and was definitely inspired by them. Below are images and website links so you can have a look.....

And this is done by Georgina Littlejohn.

There are another two designers in Lucky Dip; Staffan Gnosspelius and Anwen Williams. Anwen's website is ..... www.anwenwilliams.com
I like the page layout and how easy it is to move around the site. Her work reminds me a little bit of Kerry Roper.
