New look book for Friend and Johnson artist representatives
Collaborated with artist Rinee Shah on the cover of this portfolio of work showcasing 19 fabulous illustrators and photographers. Design challenge to show the diverse work in one 84 page 6 x 6 inch book format. Printed on McCoy Silk from SAPPI paper. Beautiful stock. Shapco Printing in Minneapolis produced the books on time and on point!
Ha, yes the “global travel” continues. Spent yesterday in Brainerd, home of Paul Bunyon and Babe the Blue Ox. Also headquarters of my favorite printer, Range Printing. Press check for the new Friend and Johnson catalog of artists.
Sneak peak, back cover, front cover and opening spread of the new book.
8 pages of the latest work from f+j artists. Printed on newspapery stock, by Range Printing. Nice size, 7 x 10. If you don’t see it in your mail you can view online at ISSUU. Great place to make flip books. Writers: Jo Marshall and Stephanie Wolf.
No, I did not design this cover, nor did I come up with the in-your-face title.
My son, Nik Kosmas, helped with the translation. And sent the book my way. Very interesting window into the everyday thoughts of a man trying to live in the midst of the Syrian conflicts.
Busy week of book covers for Marquette University Press. And no, I was not able to sell them on the concept of using leisure suits and Cooper Black for the Transformative Leisure tome. Darn.
Eblast to creatives working in retail, a visual reminder to consider f+j artists for holiday projects. See the online flip book.
