Camping ‘09 Polaroid Photobook

In complete contrast to the two beautiful, clean-styled books I have completed in the last month, this little camping memoir is small and grungy. Chris and I took the dogs camping this weekend and I brought along one of my favorite toys, my polaroid camera. We managed to become incredibly filthy so I thought this book should reflect that. It turned out pretty cool especially since polaroids also have the reputation for being mucky, perfect!

SunCor Portfolio Book

I started working on this book back in January, so six months of consulting with the client, gathering images and copy, it’s finally completed and printed! Kim at Good-Stock.com was a pleasure to work with and crafted a gorgeous portfolio. The leather cover is so soft, I want to take a nap on it.
The printing turned out fantastic, the divider pages, which are Tizziano hand-made italian paper with debossed foil stamping are the highlight of the craftsmanship of the book. It really turned out nice.

Wedding Book Design

FedEx just dropped off my latest book and I’m pretty impressed with how it turned out! Blurb.com had contacted me a few weeks ago about a beta test they are doing specifically for graphic designers. They asked me to custom design a book using InDesign and then output a pdf to them (instead of using their online pre-made templates), in return I get a free book.

I just submitted another book design to a printshop in Seattle today, they do old-school hand-binding, so I’m really excited to see how that one will turn out. Stay tuned!

I created another book a couple months ago using Blurb, that time I chose the softcover, I was a little disappointed in the quality so this time I chose the hardcover image-wrap and it has a much better feel.
