CONCEPT:
Spector Press is settled squarely in the intersection of art, theory, and design. Based in Leipzig, Germany, this publisher explores the possibilities offered by an active exchange among all parties involved in the book production process: artists, authors, book designers, lithographers, printers, and bookbinders. The identity of the publisher was inspired by the idea of spectator. As a book publisher, Spector Press acts as a spectator in the intersection of art, theory, and design by capturing different perspectives. A circle of the letter “o” from “Spector” was used to emphasize the role of a spectator by simplifying the idea of spotlight.
