The Rolling Drum is an online platform with the purpose of disseminating publications developed by participants of the MA Graphic Media Design course at LCC, UAL, by offering a contact point with individual authors. Initiated by the MA GMD 2021 cohort and passed on in subsequent years, the PRESS has three purposes. The first is the distribution of course material – A Line Which Forms a Volume, along with newsletters and Positioning Practice publications. Secondly, the PRESS is a space for publishing experimental outputs from course workshops, and lastly it provides a location for connecting alumni to a wider audience, presenting multiples of their final outcomes alongside future publications.
This website, working as a distribution platform and online archive, features course projects as well as MA GMD participants publications. We are not a shop, but provide visitors with links from which they can request to purchase to original authors. Kindly note that we cannot take responsibility for payments or transactions with individual contributors. If you have any queries, please send us an email.
We currently distribute some of our publications through a list of trusted bookshops worldwide:
MagCulture
The Library Project
Good Press
Tender Books
Inga Books
Magma Books
Unitom (Universal Tomorrow)
Draw Down Books
While we aim to update our list of active stockists promptly, we cannot guarantee that they will have copies in stock.
If you wish to distribute any of our publications in your bookshop, please contact alinewhichformsavolume@gmail.com
If you are an MA GMD Alumni and wish to distribute your self-published publications, please visit the contributions page.
