A Line Which Forms a Volume is a critical reader and symposium of graphic design-led research that is written, edited, designed and published annually by participants of the MA Graphic Media Design course at London College of Communication.
ALWFAV 8 is inspired by the ever-evolving nature of refraction. As refraction only happens in motion, this phenomenon inspired an interactive and omnidirectional format for all of the content included in this issue.

This photo book curates four years of visual memories spanning Mexico, Texas, and Scotland. Organised by intensity of human presence rather than chronology, the collection transitions from botanical subjects to bustling environments, rendered in
a distinctive blue-green risographic palette with red accents.

Growing up in Mexico, family trips across the country introduced me to souvenirs that felt both familiar and foreign—sparking a fascination that would later become this research project. I compared London's tourist shops with Huatulco's local markets, discovering that souvenirs exist on a spectrum: from purely local crafts to mass-produced generics, with "customised souvenirs" bridging both worlds.

Risography
This publication represents the second chapter in our experimental imagery series, born from a collaborative exploration of lithographic printing techniques. Building upon the narrative established in our first issue, we delved deeper into the expressive possibilities that lithography offers as a medium. Every aspect—from conceptual development to design and printing—was executed collectively by our team members, allowing us to push the boundaries of what can be achieved through this traditional printing method.
