Amy McFarland has designed over 60 books and 100 exhibition graphics, winning more than 50 design awards, including the prestigious George Wittenborn award for best North American artbook for Ghost in the Shell and the American Federation of Arts (AAM) best exhibition graphics in North America for When Art Became Fashion: Kosode in Edo-Period Japan. Her work has been published in numerous publications such as Graphis, AIGA’s Best of Design and Communication Arts. Amy’s passion for design spurs her to think outside the traditional design “box” of bookmaking: she enjoys reinterpreting standard formats of museum art books; exploring juxtapositions between the words and images, in both physical design and unique print applications, and crafting graphic “surprises” for the viewer. She seeks to make every book into a unique vehicle for information delivery. While giving her books an architectural form, Amy’s overall design goal is to create an object of enduring beauty.
