Alex Walker

Alex Walker’s practice as a graphic designer explores the space where written language and materiality intersect, particularly through typography and printed matter. As a specialist in book design, he collaborates with writers, artists, cultural institutions, and independent publishers.

As a tech fellow in the Rijksakademie’s Print Workshop, he is currently developing ‘Rijksakademie Resources for Artist Self-Publishing (RRAS-P)’.

'Rijksakademie Resources for Artists Self-Publishing (RRAS-P)' is a collection of tools and resources related to book design, book making, and self-publishing aimed at artists within the context of the Rijksakademie Print Workshop.

This includes: organising a paper sample library; printing various test sheets, sample booklets and guides for different techniques possible in the workshop; online directories listing papers, printers and binders, art book fairs and artist-book publishers; and collating useful information related to the economies of printing and publishing.
