I'm not too hot on Dukes or Earls or Graces

The last two weeks have held some ups and downs, unexpected turn of events and pleasant surprises. One of the ups was the delivery of a book we recently designed and produced for Museum Without Walls, a new venture from Timespan. The book contains a blend of poetry and photography of Kildonan and was designed to accompany a new trail and smartphone app (we will post images of the signage we designed shortly). In the words of the blurb:

"A thought-provoking collection of atmospheric contemporary photographs accompanied by emotive poetic words that truly captures the spirit of the Strath of Kildonan over the last 200 years."

The book is printed on a beautiful uncoated paper stock, which feels great, and is available for purchase from Timespan.

Here are a few sample images. - AL

I couldn't do nothing but watch as her tears fell on fresh fruit

We recently were asked to design the cover for a new book, Royal Company, published by Christian Focus Publications. The book is a study on The Song of Solomon, the passionate love poems between a king and his lover. One of the challenges was to pitch the cover so that it alluded to the sensual nature of the book without it looking like a bad romance novel! 

After a bit of research, and brainstorming, we settled on the burst pomegranate - a repeated feature of The Song of Solomon and a traditional symbol in both Judaism and Christianity. - AL
