Bookmark Special - 1988 Booker Prize (1988)

Concept and creative process

‘Bookmark Special' presented live coverage of the 1988 Booker Prize ceremony from Guildhall, presented by John Tusa. The opening titles for the one-off show explored the literary theme through a computer-controlled model shoot of book-like artefacts and typographic references. In post-production other layers were composited with model shoot, like turning pages and fragments of pages from the six works short-listed for the prize.
