New Work: ‘This is a poster.’
(Click image for larger view)
Yes, this is a poster. It was designed by Angus Hyland and Fabrian Herrmann for a lecture given by Angus at the University of Plymouth last spring. But it has since taken on a life of its own, possibly because it makes plain the secret desire of all posters: to be entered into design competitions.
The poster was silkscreened in black and white on 25 different colors, in a limited run of four copies per color. It is featured in the June issue of Creative Review.

Cover illustration by Marion Deuchars
Angus Hyland and his team have designed “The Myths,” a new series from Canongate, the publisher for which he previously repackaged the Bible.

According to Canongate, the series is “the most ambitious simultaneous world-wide publication ever undertaken,” with 24 publishers issuing the books around the world. Angus created the series identity and will commission a different cover illustrator for each of the planned 200 titles — which are set to come out at a rate of three per year, wrapping up sometime around 2070. Yes, Angus is one of the Immortals.
