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.
Seven signatures of seven sheets each. One hundred sixty-eight pages, something like 220 poems — sonnets and odes. A calendar, a psalter of sorts, of New England. Bound in leather and purple waxed thread.
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".

I designed this book cover in one of my classes a year ago. Children of Men is a suspense novel that asks the question: What would happen to the whole world if women could no longer have children? I tried to create a design that thought provoking and at the same time wouldn't scare people away. The sunburst on the horizon of the Earth gives a slight glimmer of hope in the midst of the darkness.
