Lockdown in a Book
Award: Shortlist
Shortlist / Graphic Design / Self Promotion / 2021
When the UK went into lockdown, Ogilvy London wanted to document a way of life we had never experienced before. Asking everyone to take photographs and write about their journey, the agency compiled a visual, unfiltered diary of the silly and sad, the poignant and the practical, home haircuts and home schooling, makeshift desks and death. Ogilvy turned these contributions into a 272-page book. Its art direction and design referencing the UK Government’s Covid-19 warning messages, deployed in ways to give the book the disjointed and unpredictable aspect that lockdown brought to our lives.
