Tat presents the glorious detail of thrown away graphic ephemera
A treasure trove for any creative, Andy Altmann’s book is “a visual rollercoaster” through his collection of tat.
Words
Designer Andy Altmann is a big fan of tat. Throughout his career – notably as one of the founders of Why Not Associates, an agency which closed its doors just before the pandemic – collecting bits and bobs of graphic ephemera has been a consistent part of his practice. In fact, he can trace filing clippings all the way back to his interview for the then-named Saint Martins School of Art, choosing to present a scrapbook of his growing tat collection rather than a traditional sketchbook.
