"To Infinity and Beyond!: The Story of Pixar Animation Studios", 2007. Published by Chronicle Books. Design by Tolleson.
Pretty much the first ever novel I bought just because of the cover design. Not sure exactly who this UK edition was design by. It shares many elements with the US edition, who's designer is Jamie Stafford-Hill with illustration from Viktor Koen and art direction by Irene Gallo. Perhaps the same team did both. Anyone confirm?

"Design Benign" was my senior thesis project. I studied the role of cuteness in contemporary product design, what cuteness is exactly comprised of, and how cuteness can be beneficial to design.
Design Benign is an ongoing research project about the role of cuteness in product design. You can read excerpts from it, as well as new material, at design-benign.blogspot.com

The Wolf Book, designed in 1990
____
In first grade, our teacher assigned us a project. Each student was assigned an animal, and our task was to research that animal. We compiled our research into a short, ten page book. The animal I chose was the Mongolian wild horse, and the experience was a blast. I absolutely loved the process of researching, drawing pictures and maps, and ending up with a designed object.
A few months later, during the summer of 1990, I decided to make another book about one of my favorite animals, the wolf. I spent several weeks photocopying pages from National Geographic World magazine, redrawing maps and diagrams, filling pages with some very bizarre editorial drawings, and typing paragraphs on an ancient word processor. The finished pages were then comb-bound at my father's office.
While designing my recent book, Forgetting Oildorado, I recalled the process of making The Wolf Book. I travelled to my parents house where the book resided, and flipped through it for the first time in well over a decade. It's fascinating to revisit something that was once so cherished, and to see the striking parallels between something that was designed at the age of 7 and the work that I'm currently producing.
When I made this book, I had no idea that I'd end up a graphic designer. But it seems that from a very early age, I was -- unknowingly -- well on my way.

Coffee table book designed by Picturia Press. (www.picturiapress.com)
This is book 3 of 3 books we completed for the Anderson family of their annual blog.
Coffee table book designed by Picturia Press. (www.picturiapress.com) This book chronicles the experience of Chris Morse, whose life was forever changed by the Ethiopian Selamta Family Project. Chris Morse is a Senior at Kimball Union Academy in Meriden, New Hampshire. He was awarded the 2010 International Humanitarian Award for his extraordinary efforts to enhance the lives of the children of Selamta. Through his efforts to provide Selamta with a van that will enable necessary medical care, procurement of food and clothing and opportunities for educational enrichment, as well as his mentoring and outreach activities, and for his commitment to tell the world the children’s story, the lives of Selamta’s children will be improved in immeasurable ways.
The Selamta Family Project is a volunteer grassroots project developed in 2005 to establish permanent, stable family homes for orphaned children and marginalized women in Ethiopia. By providing positive influences in a family and community setting it is possible to build strong citizens, maintain cultural connections, and sustain healthy conditions.
The book Nuotraukos dokumentams / Photographs for Documents contains 40 double-portraits taken by Vytautas V. Stanionis (1917–1966) in Seirijai, a small town in southern Lithuania and commissioned by the Soviet authorities in 1946. Usually two unrelated individuals were portrayed in each photograph due to shortage of materials in postwar Lithuania; portraits that were later separated. The images were found years later by Vytautas’s son, also called Vytautas, who was exploring his father’s archive.
Berlin based book designer Tom Mrazauskas created this beautiful publication, crafted with special attention to detail. He chose Soleil, by Wolfgang Homola, as the main typeface. Every image was visually cut into half by folding the pages, avoiding repetition and creating a different rhythm. The duo-tone plates were printed on thin uncoated stock. Published by Kaunas Photography Gallery in 2013 the book has received several awards.
The designer Tom Mrazauskas told us how Soleil was the perfect fit for this book. His starting point was a "geometric typeface, used all over the Soviet Union, mostly for setting text in magazines, but he wanted to have a modern version". Mrazauskas also pointed to the parallels between the cold approach of the passport photographs and the pure geometrical forms of the typeface; and how at the same time there is a personal character in the photographs and a humanistic touch in Soleil. "Everything worked together".
