Stir cover design. Stir consisted of "compositions" composed by the collaborative work of 8 designers. Each designer started with a topic (usually a single word such as "love"). The designer composed a spread based on this word by using pictures, type, textures etc... This design was then passed to another designer who responded to the design by adding or subtracting elements according to thier interpretation of the word. This process continued with each designer building on top of a previous design until the composition reached all 8 designers or the spread was concidered finished.
