The University of Salford Book Arts and Design Lab {BADLab} is a creative bindery workshop for producing art and design publications. We have specialist knowledge, software, materials and equipment that allow School of Arts and Media students and staff to produce high quality professional publications.

Additionally, we offer support for creative students to develop cross disciplinary professional design skills, diversify their practice and become ready for industry. We believe these skills are a vital component of success in the creative industry and should be available to all students in the school.

We believe you can’t be good, until you’ve been bad. BADLab is a space to play, learn and experiment with design, publications, risograph and book arts. This is a digital gallery and repository of multidisciplinary artist books and publications produced by BADLab staff, students and visitors.
