M1: 50 Years ‘M1: 50 years’ is a hand-screenprinted 20 page book about the M1 motorway, published to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its opening in 1959. The book is a collection of drawings of the motorway’s junctions seen from above. I became interested in the graceful curves and shapes of the junctions and found that there are huge variations, from the simplest to those with multiple flyovers and roundabouts. It was an interesting challenge to take a subject that isn’t normally considered to be aesthetically pleasing and find a graphic angle on it.
