Catalogue and publicity material for exhibition of international art from the 1990s titled ‘Public Offerings’ held at The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. The catalogue has two front covers; from one side it features only artist’s work and their biographies. From the other are the essays. One very important thing in this book was the lack of any white space. Often designers are frightened to use colour. For this book though we decided that all of the artworks should have a coloured background, which would enhance the experience of looking at the work, rather than obscure it. The typefaces Expletive and Echelon were designed as a result of work on this project.
