The book ‘170 Anos do Movimento Associativo Gráfico’ [170 Years of the Graphic Association Movement], the result of the IHC-APIGRAF* research project on the history of the national printing industry, was the Gold Winner in the Editorial Design — Book category at the 27th edition of the Portuguese Creativity Club Festival.
Divided into two volumes — ‘Os 170 Anos do Movimento Associativo dos Industriais Gráficos’ [170 Years of the Graphic Industrialists’ Associative Movement] and ‘Os Mundos da Indústria Gráfica e Transformadora do Papel’ [The Worlds of the Graphic and Paper Manufacturing Industry] — it was written by Cláudia Figueiredo and included photographs by Paulo Catrica; it was produced by APIGRAF and designed by José Mendes. The second volume had the collaboration of Jaume Casals, a consultant and specialist in graphic arts.
At its launch in 2024, Cláudia Figueiredo said that the book reflected ‘the importance of the printing industry in Portugal, an industry that is omnipresent in our society’ and that she would like the book to reach the general public so that people are more aware of the ubiquity of ‘this industry, which is part of our daily lives, from books to train tickets.’
The award’s online page includes various details of the graphic work that led to this distinction.
