Tom Munckton

Tom Munckton
Tom Munckton has certainly managed to squeeze in an impressive array of commissions while simultaneously juggling coursework and an internship with London designer’s bilbliotheque. Favouring the rigorous logic-riven values of modernism, his work attempts to test the limits of 2D design, managing to combine innovation with functionality to such an extent that his intriguingly clever designs convince you to dismiss old timeworn methods as irrational. He has demonstrated how a graphic design can become more of an object by the use and complex folding technique. Or his cd sleeve design for EMI and sanctuary records which utilise the jwelcase and layering created by the folding of inserts to push two dimensions into three.
