A Line Which Forms A Volume (8th ed.)

YEAR: 2025
ROLE: Production Lead, along with Sadie Lee
CLIENT: MAGMD/LCC

A Line Which Forms A Volume (ALWFAV) is a critical reader and symposium of graphic design-led research, which is written, edited, designed, and published by participants of the MA Graphic Media Design (MA GMD) course at the London College of Communication (LCC) and advised by Irene Sempere. Our eighth issue focuses on the concept 
of refraction and how when applied to design, leads to outcomes that are omnidirectional– a single concept can lead to various outcomes based on the designers’ personal perspective and cultural background on the subject. 

The primary outcome of this project is a publication with an edition of 500, printed in January 2025 and distributed globally. The 8th edition is now available for sale in bookstores within the UK or can be bought online on the MAGMD website. 

As a Production Lead, along with Sadie Lee, for ALWFAV’s 8th edition, I managed the end-to-end production process, drafting colour plans, coordinating timelines, meetings and cross-team collaboration to ensure a smooth workflow. I liaised with suppliers, estimated costs and oversaw budgeting while maintaining quality control throughout the printing and binding process.





The publication (500 copies, globally distributed) explores refraction in design, showcasing diverse perspectives through research and visual experimentation.




This issue features contributions, including such as an interview with Astrid Vorsterman of Valiz Publishers, conversations with designers and researchers Paul Bailey and Irene Sempere, and an excerpt from ‘Chimeric Worlding’ by Tiger Dingsun, exploring the potentialities that exist between graphic design, poetics, and worldbuilding, as well as a selection of graphic design-led research developed within the at MA Graphic Media Design course.







By enabling our research practices to refract, we can expand the gaze, embracing constant changes and shifts in our understanding of graphic design.
