SELECTED C

Graphic Design from Europe

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 third volume in the series will be named 'Selected C' referring to the font face Conduit. This is Index Book's special way of paying homage to typography as an emblematic element in design.

The projects are picked out by a team of renowned professionals from various fields in visual communication who meet up to make a selection of the best work pieces among all the entries received. Only the projects chosen from their expert point of view shall be ultimately included in the book.
