Analogue Process by Chris Bigg 1987 – 2019

Analogue Process by Chris Bigg was our first edition publication under the umbrella of Unseen Sketchbooks and followed a series of conversations between Chris and Unseen Sketchbooks founder Gavin Ambrose. 

Analogue Process by Chris Bigg is focused on the designer’s work in the music industry. Strongly associated with record label 4AD, Chris has worked with The Pixies and more recently working on The Breeders artwork and videos.

Analogue Process is a ‘remix’ form of sketchbook. Taking the original artworks for a series of musicians the images and scraps are remixed into new collages and works. 

The process of taking archival images and parts of work and remixing them introduces new possibilities to the work. Devoid of text or commentary, the publication is an experimental statement in design. 

Printed in two colours, a Fluorescent Orange and Black the oversized publication celebrates the freedom of Bigg’s work. 

The book features work by musicals including Kim Deal, Biffy Clyro, The Pixies, The Breeders,David Sylvian and many others.

From David Sylvian

This publication ‘Analogue Process 1987-2019’ is a collection of various analogue experiments and proposals for various design projects from a 32 year period. all of these visuals have been created using only the analogue process, I have kept sketch books and process books on a yearly basis, it’s still a very important part of my working process, I only really engage with a computer at the final stage of a projects final development.
