The 230 page book consists of the season’s match reports, including beautiful images and highlights from each of their games.

Mikhail Anikst ( www.anikstdesign.com ) has created some of the most memorable and accomplished book designs in the USSR in the 1970s and 1980s. For the last 20 years he has worked out of his London office for some of the most prestigious clients in the world.
I recently interviewed Anikst for Interni Russia magazine. For full text of the interview see here: mbeletsky.livejournal.com/16294.html

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.

This is the title I was working on this afternoon and evening. Blogged about it, too.
The interior is, finally, almost done. Lots of picky details for something that seems so simple!
Updated, 3/6/06 Put the final version of this title to disc this afternoon. Congratulations, Dan and Gayle!

"The Phoenix and the Hydra" for Harper Collins. Allison Saltzman, Art Director.
It had to have an image of a phoenix (the mythological firebird) and a hydra (the microscopic sea creature) and, it turns out, it had to have huge type. I still like the (understandably unfeasible) first round comp sans title but the third cover was loved and approved.
The title of the book was changed last minute and the design had to be taken in-house to meet deadline. Hence, my first Kill Fee.
