"To Infinity and Beyond!: The Story of Pixar Animation Studios", 2007. Published by Chronicle Books. Design by Tolleson.
"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

A quick and dirty selection of pages from my first book design project. We were tasked with laying out part of The Kamasutra, consisting of the first book and three commentaries (including commentary on commentary).
This is the final product, inside the workfile.
Book design of AOI Images 33: Best of British Illustration 2009.
This year I worked together with Adrian Shaughnessy on the design of the Images Book and exhibition graphics. In the book we created a tighter grid with a more contemporary feel and rather than just selecting an illustration from the book to use on the cover we created a typographic design that didn't favour any one illustration style or individual and that could be experimented with in the future. We then followed these principles through to the exhibition and awards. Here we used the icon as a label for the award winners.
Art Direction: Adrian Shaughnessy

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.

Winner of the 2011 Caldecott Honor and the 2011 Coretta Scott King Illustration award. Designed by Stephanie Bart-Horvath, written by Laban Carrick Hill, illustrated by Bryan Collier.
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.
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

This is book 3 of 3 books we completed for the Anderson family of their annual blog.
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".
The two noted typographers, Walter Lewis and Stanley Morison produced the first Chirstmas Book in1930, which was intended as a gift for the printing house's clients, related editors and writers. Only 500 copies were privately printed every year, and the last book of the series was printed in 1974.

Recipes for a Happy Marriage is a truly unique book we designed for our clients. This book is intended to be used during their wedding as a guest book, so all the attendees can sign the book and share their memories. The book is also a collection of their favorite recipes and images of their friends and family displayed throughout the book. We were so pleased to work with Lindsay and Jonathan again, as we did also designed a book for them in 2010, called Our First Year.
