This is the first PROfile sheet to contain a landscape cover and a portrait spread…
Textures of Time: landscape architecture is an investigation of the exposed surfaces created through mineral extraction at key localities around Sussex. Looking at the connection of these sites to geology, archaeology andhistory, Chivers’ work draws our attention, not only to the physical appearance of the rocks, but also to what lies beyond the surface, as each image has the potential for discovery.

Luce Choules’ photographic study ‘Flow: Edit.’ was commissioned by Birmingham-based FusionPlus as part of their Art & Sport projects programme.

The resulting images are published here as a record of quiet moments witnessed during the busy training sessions. The publication also includes ‘Field Work: Editorial Cartography’ – a selection of images produced from trips and expeditions in the last six years.

This mappazine is an independent forum for travel writing and photography. ken360 is a publication about journeys – an amazing sheet of stories and photographs from around the world. A collection of inspirational people, places and experiences fill each issue.

The foldedsheet project was initially developed during a Masters degree in 2004. Informed by research into editorial layouts, information mapping and design responsibility the projects’ aim was to create a new form of sustainable publishing.
The concept was formally launched in the summer of 2005 with the publication of ‘ken360_000 (pilot issue)’ and the ‘7mm_ruled’ sheets (pictured below). When these first foldedsheets rolled of the press we didn’t know where they would take us or how they would be received… the response has been really positive. Our belief that these huge sheets of paper can provide a useful and interesting format has been confirmed and new products have been added to our range. We are currently working on a number of commissions, and there are lots of exciting projects in development.
