Barcelona is a city that's long punched considerable weight in the art and design worlds. From the genius of Gaudi to the cool of festivals like Sonar and OFFF, the Catalan capital has firmly established itself as a hub for creativity.
One person who recognised that is Dave Sedgwick, the owner of Manchester-based design studio StudioDBD. He organised the first BCNMCR event back in 2013, inviting design agencies from Spain's second-largest city to visit the UK's. The event returned this year after a nine-year hiatus, and there's a rather nice limited-edition book to commemorate it. We spoke to Sedgwick to find out a little about his inspiration (see our pick of the best graphic design books for more gems).
