Faces in the Crowd is an autobiographical coffee table book design we created for our client, Donald Sandford. Taking a different approach to the self-written account of his life, Don shares life lessons learned through the people that have influenced him the most throughout the years. This book pays tribute in pictures and stories, to the friends and family he cherishes, while also weaving in the story of his family heritage and upbringing.

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.

At the jury meeting of the Walter Tiemann Prize, in the venerable composing room of the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst Leipzig. It was a honour and pleasure to work with the five jurors, and to take a close look at all these outstanding book designs. Thanks to all who have submitted their work. The award ceremony will take place during the Leipzig book fair in March 2012.

We’ve been fortunate to work with Tugboat Branding on several projects, including this branding proposal, 36-page presentation piece.
This was a little coffee table book we designed for a friend who just recently celebrated their 50th birthday. Everyone who attended the party combined their favorite photos taken during the event to create this event book as a gift. Now this special occasion can be remembered for years to come.
