cover series makes print regional
Print Magazine selected Erin Hauber's design for Otis College of Art and Design’s Continuing Education catalog cover series as a winner in its 2011 Print Regional Design Annual. The work will be published in the magazine this winter.
The design of the series is a response to 2010’s theme: “Re-design your future at Otis.” Each cover is treated as a multi-layered and dynamic universe, a faux space where a tension between flat and dimensional, believable and unbelievable, can exist. The back covers contain bits and pieces from their respective fronts to further the illusion.
In addition to incorporating the series overarching visual themes, each cover contains its own narrative. For the spring cover, tools used by artists appear to act on their own to revise and redesign some previous and unknown version of the piece. The summer cover uses fragments of the designer's own southern California summer snapshots to create a new version of the season. And turning the page and marking one's place become the ideas behind the falls exploration of more trompe l’oeil effects.
This is the second year Hauber’s work has appeared in Print’s Regional Design Annual. The first instance was in 2010 for IDWRK 0809 a book designed for the USC School of Architecture.

collaborative poster exhibited in csla
Poster designed by Juliette Bellocq, Erin Hauber and Lauren Mackler
A poster, collaboratively designed by Erin Hauber, Katie Bachler, Juliette Bellocq and Lauren Mackler is on exhibit now as part of Collective Show LA (CSLA).
Lauren Mackler invited Bachler, Bellocq and Hauber to join her in a temporary design collective and commissioned the newsprint piece on behalf of her art space Public Fiction. The poster was distributed throughout Los Angeles in the week leading up to the show’s opening and is on display in the gallery.
"It is exciting to be a part of Collective Show LA, to be in a group (Public Fiction) among groups contributing to something greater than all of us,” explained Hauber. “We found inspiration in the show's collaborative spirit and asked ourselves 'what does it look like to work together and find the balance necessary to make something good?' We ended up building a mobile in Lauren's space one afternoon. Photographs of that mobile taken from different angles became the poster that's our contribution to CSLA."

Work by over 20 groups is on view Thursday through Sunday, 12–6 pm until Sunday, January 30. More information about the show is available at www.collectiveshow.org/LA.
