SELECTED A GRAPHIC DESIGN FROM EU

Selected is not an award, but rather, as its name suggests, it is aselection of interesting projects completed during the past year. These arechosen by a selection team which is annually designated by the publisher -Index Book.The annual is presented with an original design and in a specialformat, smaller than the average yearbook. The book is divided into threedifferent categories (Graphic Design, New Media and Schools) and eachproject is featured individually in a double page spread. Instead of beingnumbered, each edition of Selected is assigned a letter in alphabeticalorder. The letter for each volume is also the initial of the font face usedin the book. For instance, the first volume in the series is named'Selected A' referring to the font face Avant Garde. This is Index Book'sspecial way of paying homage to typography as an emblematic element indesign.
