CLAIRE HUSS
BOOK DESIGN
When designing books, Claire Huss is unafraid of bold crops and unexpected colour combinations
The Paris-based designer and art director is making beautiful artist books with a deep appreciation for materiality and methods for sustainable production. While she works as a designer and art director, Claire Huss’ varied practice pivots on photography. With a sense for the best visual pace, pairings and crops, Claire’s image treatment is a stand out feature of her editorial work. This expertise in print and “strong consideration for materiality” within Claire’s practice means that she often finds herself working on publishing projects, taking pleasure in the editing and sequencing of photographs when translated them into print.
Why?
Page layouts, sequencing of photographs and printed matter are all relevant to my practice. I was inspired by her eperimental and bold approach to print, cropping, cutting and playing with different sizes and forms. This adds to the experience of analogue design, carefully thinking about the viewer and how to engage them more.
