About this Item

Selected functions as a curated showcase rather than a competitive award, true to its name in presenting the most noteworthy design projects completed across Europe during the past year. An expert selection team, appointed annually by publisher Index Book, carefully chooses each featured work to represent the breadth and quality of contemporary European design. Distinguished by its original design approach and compact format that differentiates it from conventional design yearbooks, the publication organizes content across three essential categories: Graphic Design, New Media, and Schools, with each project receiving individual attention through dedicated double-page spreads. The series employs a unique naming convention, using sequential letters instead of numbers for each edition, where each letter corresponds to the primary typeface featured throughout that volume Selected A honors Avant Garde, establishing Index Book's distinctive tribute to typography as a fundamental and emblematic element of design practice.

About this title

Synopsis

Selected is not an award, but rather, as its name suggests, it is a selection of interesting projects completed during the past year. These are chosen by a selection team which is annually designated by the publisher - Index Book. The annual is presented with an original design and in a special format, smaller than the average yearbook. The book is divided into three different categories (Graphic Design, New Media and Schools) and each project is featured individually in a double page spread. Instead of being numbered, each edition of Selected is assigned a letter in alphabetical order. The letter for each volume is also the initial of the font face used in 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's special way of paying homage to typography as an emblematic element in design.
