Designed to showcase the history and work of the chosen design studio. Using design liberties the book may be any size and layout as long as it fits the branding of the company.This is a high quality book, so paper quality, design choices, and craftsmanship should be reflected in this. The book should also have a uniquely design sleeve, fitting the brand, to protect the book.
Deliverables:
- Book
- Book Sleeve
Originally the cover and sleeve were black and white. However, later I decided to add the pop of green they used in their team photos. With it being black and white, I felt the design would fade into the background of other books. This color choice is also based on the team photos, everyone wore black shirts against the green background. This minor detail about the studio helped me come up with a color palette that suited them.
Brainstorming
Revisions
Adjusted the kerning and letting in the large body of the text. I also created more mockups of spreads to show off different layouts within the book and how the cover looks at different angles. I photoshopped the cover of the book and sleeve to show off the foiling, spot gloss, and embossing as well as added the accent green to the spine of the book and inside of the sleeve to make it stand out on the shelf.
