Fedrigoni 365/2023

  • Ralph Solly

2023 saw the Fedrigoni 365 collaboration harness the power of 365 creatives, with each one visually interpreting the theme ‘love’. The events over the last few years have highlighted the importance of these expressions of unity, of kindness and of love. They stand as a reminder to love more and to love harder. So this year, as a contributor to the project, I was asked to spread this message by using the idea of ‘love’ as the core inspiration behind my design. My chosen volume is printed on Fedrigoni’s Sirio Color Vermiglione 115gsm paper, using Pantone 874 ink. The book contains 365 individual labours of love, printed on a beautiful mélange of red to pink hues from Fedrigoni’s vast range of fine papers.I started this brief sketching ideas whilst on holiday, refining the number from pad to screen. I was assigned October 3rd. My design uses negative space to combine a heart and a number three, which represents two people in a relationship, in celebration of National Boyfriend Day. All profits from previous editions have been donated to British Heart Foundation. Book design by TM Studio.
