This is a book design and execution that I created for Susan Kozel's book Closer published by the MIT press.
It was an assignment in a UCLA Design | Media Arts Class. The front portion of the book is comprised of all the text and images, clearly setup into a four row system, which aligns to the four flipbooks at the very back of the book.

The Cresset Press was formed in 1927 by Dennis Cohen and published a fascinating selection of books for 40 years until it was sold upon the retirement of the two owners retired in 1966/7. This small catalogue is very avant-garde; the cover and a series of black pages with red text, each overlain with a sheet of acetate describing the title and author. Spirally bound this copy has suffered a little but it remains an interesting item. At times the Press had some association with James Shand of the Shenval Press and this certainly has a 'feel' of some of their work.
This book is designed to please the Grandparents! With great photos of this family’s two adorable children. Designed as a small 7 x 7 “brag” book.

Ilonka Karasz (1896-1981) was the foremost woman modernist designer in the United States in the first half of the twentieth century. She designed wallpaper, wrapping paper, textiles, furniture, interiors, nurseries, book jackets, and magazine covers, among other things.
New York, Not So Little and Not So Old was one of two books by Sarah M. Lockwood designed by Karasz in 1926. (The other was Antiques). Of particular note are Karasz's maps, a skill she leant to many books. For more information and other examples of Karasz's work as a cartographer, see my blog post:

Anthropomorphic imagery is well established in western society. Examples can be found in everything from arts and literature to religion and pop culture. The school children’s Valentines of the 1940s and 1950s represented the spirit of anthropomorphism in a visually delightful and simplistic manner. Their appeal stemmed from bold colors, well defined human- like objects and the double entendre, a figure of speech in which a phrase or word may be understood in one of two ways. For example, a Valentine with the image of a canoe offers double meanings for “canoe” (can you), “oar” (or) and the suggestion to “paddle around.” We created realistic mockups of these two-dimensional valentines to showcase these charming and sweet cards for the author, Robert Rightmire.

Regarded as one of the very finest books from a fine press, and set in their own Golden Cockerel type designed by Eric Gill in 1929, it is interesting that what I have read about this book is the feeling that the engravings and the lettering are not a 'prefect marriage'. Well, I wouldn't mind a copy! Mary Groom (1903 - 1958) was a fine wood engraver as can be seen here in this edition of Milton's Paradise Lost.

Together with German publisher ABCDEF we made this hand-bound and digital printed zine. The zine consists of photos shot by ABCDEF and tells the story of two one-of-a-kind verbal dilettantes (paint & photo). And so this zine tells you a story from a one-of-a-kind dilettantism of fledged vandalism, walking, talking and taking photos.
The zine is 25 x 17,5 cm (9,84" x 6,89"), consists of 60 digital printed pages packed in a die-cutted cover and is made in an edition of 100 copies.

Finished copies of Will Steacy's collection of essays, "The Photographs Not Taken" bound with a three hole pamphlet stitch using kitchen twine.
O libro de Manuel Rico Verea e Antón Santamarina ten a intención de recopilar e recuperar algunhas das cancións populares que forman parte do noso patrimonio musical.
Organizado por xéneros e temáticas, sempre foi vontade dos autores que o cancioneiro tivese as características dun libro de peto —manexable, transportable e económico— que permitise facer uso del en romerías, seráns, foliadas, festas familiares, etc.
Esta vontade condicionou as decisións de deseño e edición do libro. A tripa estrutúrase por cadernos de 16 páxinas rodeados de dípticos de cor, organizando o contido por xéneros ou temáticas musicais. Cun formato para gardar en calquera peto —105x160 mm— as esquinas da publicación redondéanse para facilitar o transporte e evitar o seu deterioro.
Amáis do pequeno formato, a encadernación co lombo solto permite abrir facilmente o libro e suxeitalo cunha man —sobre todo se se está a cantar mentres se le unha letra ou melodía.
Coa convicción de que os elementos gráficos e visuais do libro deben comunicaran aspectos parellos ao contido, neste caso da cultura popular galega, traballamos con recortes fotográficos dos panos tradicionais —panos rameados— que nos serviron para ilustrar as cubertas e os diferentes capítulos do libro. Recuncando na mesma idea os papeis nos que se imprimen os motivos florais dos panos son papeis gofrados cunha textura que lembra á das telas.
As cubertas cheas de flores queren celebrar a primavera, os maios e o día das letras galegas, día de publicación deste cancioneiro de peto: Eu non canto por cantar.

The rear cover of the "Marine Manual" issued as a piece of publicity by - yes, Wakefield's Castrol Oils! It is quite a stylish item, along with the equally 'deco' style front cover. Castro,is still a huge brand but it is no longer owned by C C Wakefield & Co Ltd, the company founded in 1899 having sold out in 1966 to Burmah Oil and now owned by BP. No artist or designer is given.
