Artistic Collaboration Opportunity for Students at Ken Griffiths Bureau

The Ken Griffiths Bureau, a young and vibrant foundation supporting emerging creatives, is launching a new exciting project based on the iconic photograph of Princess Margaret; 20 artists are reinterpreting the shot taken by Griffiths in 1985, these 20 new pieces will be part of a printed publication that will also include information about the artists and other pieces of writing.

We are looking for a student/graduate to design the book and offer an innovative, fresh, and contemporary take on the publication. Someone who can challenge the whole idea of what a book can be. In addition to obtaining the commission, we will award the selected designer with a cash prize of 300£, upon completion of the work. On top of that, they will receive a percentage of the book sales and software costs will be covered.

Please note that the project is not intended as a celebration of the monarchy nor a deliberate act of critique towards it. Rather, we aim to encourage fresh perspectives and dialogue over themes that are now more than ever important for us as a society. We are excited to find a talented designer to join us in this ambitious project!”
