kusa awase is a sort of game popular among the aristocrats in Heian era(9th century). they bring along various plants and compare eachother to vie the winner. the idea of the game is reflected into the design of this book.
for this facsimile edition, glossy transparent ink and silk screen technique were used to recreate the surface of Japanese lacquer, which had been used to print the black part of the original binding. to use lacquer in printing was the designer Hashiguchi's idea. this was rare and thought to be very inovative idea then(and today).
草合わせとは平安貴族たちの間で流行った遊び「もの合わせ」の一つで、互いに持ち寄った草花を競い合わせ、優劣を競ったもの。その遊びが装幀のモチーフとなっています。
初版の装幀では、黒い部分に漆が使われました。これは装幀家・橋口五葉による斬新な発想でした。復刻版では、黒いインクの上に艶のある透明インクを何層も重ねて漆の質感を再現しています。
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".

We have worked with our client, the artist Deborah Paris on several book and marketing pieces. This recent project was designing note cards and business cards for her upcoming exhibit.
'The Wish Post' 148 pg book documenting a collection of work by textiles artist Mister Finch.
I designed and layed out the book; It was about 6 weeks solid work, going through 1000+ photos and using a bit of digital magic to bring things to life, designing the typography and textures, and little bits of tape and scribbles, to give it all the proper Mister Finch feel.
