Milena Georgieva

Summary

Final work

Hey! I’m Milena, a visual communicator with a passion for editorial, print, bookbinding and everything book design. Apart from that, art direction, branding and motion are also in my area of work.

The concept that sits at the core is what drives the process and directs the mediums used.

College London College of Communication

Course BA (Hons) Graphic And Media Design

Graduation year 2023

This book is a reaction, documentation and an homage to the Book Arts workshop space at London College of Communication.

During the Spring Break the workshop was reduced in half by constructing a wall in the middle of the room and no students were consulted about or informed of this construction in advance. Therefore, I wanted to document what happened and portray it in a book that can tell the story for the future visitors of the workshop.

The book has an exposed coptic bound back and goes inside a slipcase in order to be best preserved. Inside, it uses a reverse French fold that keeps half of the pages hidden. All of the outside visible spreads are dedicated to the beautiful tools, pieces of equipment and materials that (still) can be used in the workshop. At the same time, on the inside pages is a chronological documentation of the wall construction. It also contains anonymous reactions of students upon their first entry to the workshop after the Spring Break. The two visible and invisible stories intertwine and the reader is prompted to tear open the inside pages in order to fully engage with the story.
