The Static Almanac

A yearbook of small noises: kettles, trams, radiators.

Experimental

This project, its client and its outcome are invented for a concept by Artlogic.

The brief

We wanted a printed thing for ourselves: twelve months, twelve noises, set in two colours and a grey.

Every month has a noise and every noise has a texture. The texture is the page: grain made by hand, not by filter.

We drew the grain with hundreds of small marks and kept the set as vector plates. The layout has one rule: text never sits on texture.

A publication that exists as a design only. No print run, no sales, no readers claimed.

Reel: not part of this preview.

A short reel of the plates being made (fictional; no real client footage).
