Silver Skate Seventies
For this never-before-published collection of Hugh Holland’s black-and-white photographs documenting young Californian skateboarders, I designed a title reminscent of popular 70’s music posters. The special edition is housed in a box similar to an original Agfa photographic paper package complete with a sticker sheet full of graphic references to the book’s content. I retouched many of the images to remove dust, scratches and damage that had occurred over time.

Tim Biskup - Tree of Life
For California artist Tim Biskup's first career-spanning book, the layout required simple colors and spacious arangements to compliment the complexity of the work. The narrative at the end of the book provided an opportunity to be typographically playful. Several of the early works required retouching to remove dust and scratches.

Best In Show
Dolly Faibyshev's images from Dog Shows focus on the unique—and often humorous—relationship between dogs and their handlers. Aside from carefully pairing the images for each page throught the book, I developed an elegant ribbon like type solution for the title and end pages.

Limited Edition
This diverse collection of art furniture required a minimal layout and clean graphic approach. The cover features the title rendered as a piece of one off furniture, and is based on the custom typeface I developed for titles and quotes throughout the book.
