About the project:
Over a decade now Munken and Arctic paper has produced their annual agenda. Instead of having a professional agency design their agenda, they let different schools from around the world design it each year. For their agenda 2023 the school Forsbergsskola located in Stockholm, Sweden has been chosen for this honor.
We divided ourselves into groups of three and started this magical journey.
Our concept is Typography, after all an agendas essentials is paper and typography. We also found typography to be the perfect fit as our school Forsbergsskola has a rich background associated with typography.
Having the cover and packaging cooperate aswell as making sure 2023 can be readable in all possible angles, but most distincly on the spine making it stand out in the bookshelf.
The first spread on the left side showing an display for the font Berling which is the body text of the entire agenda and also created by one of the founders of Forsbergsskola. On the right side we see the grid our entire agenda is following. We also see the bookmark in the form of a typometer which ressembles a kind of ruler showing both centimeters and points, a tool used by many typographers.
Here we see an overview of the entire year and on the next spread the colors each month has been asigned.
This is the overview of the months july och october which shows how the weeks will look, the colors of the months, how it will work with the shift of each month but also the experimental typography illustration for that month. All months will have their own typography illustration created analog allowing us to remove the all things digital and use our hands.
clear image of how the weeks will look. This stage of the agenda was very important for us to nail, after all this make around 70% of the entire agenda.
For the last spread we display the header font we use in the entire agenda, created by our own typography teacher Marcus Gärde. Aswell as showing the grid again for the left side.
