Phil Reith has been the well-known and well-loved golf pro at the Woodhill Country Club from 1965 to 2010. For his upcoming retirement party, the members wanted to give him a very special gift – a collection of great memories and images spanning the last 40 years. The members provide photos and anecdotes to be included and we restored a majority of the images for this 120 page, 13 x 11 book. We hope he will be surprised and pleased with this wonderful keepsake.
再見、再 見，好讀。
記得大學的時候，曾經有段時間好讀是大開本的，好像才三十塊還是多少，手邊還留了一些。
看著大尺寸的好讀，深刻具有重量的版面編排風格、具深度的文學導讀及專題，在那段學設計的期間像是一種有別於Ray Gun的另一端的、象徵性的指標，安靜地影響著一群人。
老實說在我的觀感裡，商業永遠是凌駕文化(還有政治)，所以說銷售不佳、長期虧損等原因不得不停刊，那像是必然的等式之類的。
縱使它有深度、內容、觀點、甚至是美學的影響力，賣不好，就是bye bye，就是kind of failure....
Even before seeing this book, I figured that the cuts should be used atop a rule. The figures are obviously supported by something.

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.

Dan brought home this most excellent book from work today. It's one he designed and art-directed, and I swear it's not only because I love him that I think this pudgy little book is the best.
Just look at it! So awesome. Storey is going to sell the shit out of this book. Now, how to convince them to make it into a website...
Also -- my goodness, it's 5 PM and still a little sun in the sky!
"Deconstructing Cute" is the process book to "Design Benign", my senior thesis project. This book contains the graphics I made during my research, my sketches and thought process.
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
