A project from a few months back. Chromatic is a hand-bound edition of books based on the colour blue. Seven images were created based on seven swatches of blue, ranging from a green-blue to a darker, deep blue. The book is A5 format, printed on white cartridge, has reverse-folded pages, and Japanese bound.
I actually have a few copies left (of ten) if anyone wants one for the cheap price of, say £4? hello@ianep.co.uk
Discovered a couple of designs I did a while back for a book cover design competition.
Really enjoyed doing something different from the web or conventional illustration. Was great to work in the constraints of the format.
Had to squeeze a cheeky Keep Calm reference in somewhere.

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.

snow white book. studio fall 2007.
the book is on the duality of fairy tales, mean to be part of a set, each book criticizing certain aspects and poking fun of classic fairy tales. commentary and criticism on classic fairy tales and how they are interpreted (or misinterpreted) in today's time.
french folding is used to create a hidden layer within the book. at first glance the book seems to just tell the version of snow white (the disney-fied version) that most people are familiar with, but hidden through the pages are commentary and criticism of this tale.

Exhibition celebrating 60 Years of the Printing House ‘Stamperia Valdonega’
We created a small publication called 'The Little Black Book' for the Rose Street Artist Market, showcasing Artists and craft available at the markets.
The book documents a series of illustrations I made of exhibits from the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. all illustrations were made during December 2010 while wondering through the museum.

a seal made for this book, printed in vermillion.
foreword by the author(a rough translation of the latter half, the second of two pages):
taste/style is the quintessence of writing.
writing without taste/style is like sunshine without warmth. it won't have any value.
i don't care how these pieces would be interpretated by their readers.
but if this book were blamed to have corruptive influence on any of the young reader's taste, it will be a shame for the rest of the author's life.
i didn't take the risk of publishing "Uzurakago" for my fame.
it is because i am convinced that these pieces would never corrupt the young people's tastes at all.
