This year, Solo has been asked to design the new Laus Annual.
The design celebrates the book as a physical object by acknowledging the fact that readers demand content and context in the digital age. “Death to the thumbnails” was the guiding principle behind the making of the book.
Edited by Oscar Germade and Astrid Stavro, the annual includes articles by Andrew Howard on editorial design, Andreu Balius on the modular typeface SuperVeloz, Emilio Gil on Pioneers of Graphic Design, Norberto Chaves on Yves Zimmermann alongside interviews by Quico Vidal and Alberto Anaut (director of La Fabrica) amongst many others.

“The intention behind the short film, was to reflect a truly honest design process, becoming an invisible part of Solo team in order to keep record of every single detail”.
