Still available in limited numbers, the Collector’s Edition of Design Reviewed is housed within an elegant ‘shoulder neck’ box bound in a charcoal black uncoated stock with a matt white foil.
The edition includes an A–Z postcard set of 26 cards, each featuring a letter from the archive on the front and information about the designer and source on the reverse, and an exclusive 510x430 mm folded poster comprising letterforms selected from the Design Reviewed archive.
The limited edition itself has a cut down front board, revealing the book’s contents page, and is covered in a warm grey uncoated stock with a matt black foil.

Over the past decade, I’ve built @designreviewed . An independent archive of over 10,000 artefacts spanning 150 years of graphic design history. Posters, magazines, books and ephemera, all collected to make design history more accessible, usable, and relevant. Now, in collaboration with @uniteditions , that archive is becoming a 400-page book! (A Dream Project!). A century of graphic design, from early modernism through to postmodernism, drawn directly from material in the collection.
We’ve just launched the campaign, with early editions, collector versions, and opportunities to engage with the archive through workshops, and lectures. If you’ve followed or supported my project, you will LOVE the book! Pledge for your copy here: https://vol.co/collections/design-reviewed @vol.co
