We are thankful to AIGA DESIGN AND JURORS for selecting 3 of our book projects in their 2022 Winners Gallery for the 50 Books 50 Covers competition. Together with book designers, artists and production fellows/collaborators, we celebrate being part of a book making community that inspires and highlight creations.

CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION? BY JENNIFER VENDITTI
Visionary casting director Jennifer Venditti gives a behind-the-scenes look at her uncommon casting process with 343 pages of original casting photos, interviews and contributions from collaborators. 3 rounds of proofing by our internal chromatic team enabled us to deftly print on four different interior stocks that were accurately selected by Pacific creative studio. Cover board is wrapped with a strong traditional cotton cloth called Naturlinen that is foil stamped in black and debossed to place a tip on image on the back.
GEORGE NAKASHIMA WOODWORKERS, PROCESS BOOK
This self-published book is an intimate guide that dives into the history of George Nakashima Woodworkers studio and gives insight into their craftsmanship, philosophy and process. Our long experience and passion helped to match the Nakashima Company expectations and create an immersive monograph with an exposed spine binding that allows the book to lay flat when open. Designed by Asad Pervaiz, this book has an informational structure and functional design with a special cover that unfolds to reveal a large-scale, two-sided poster with original drawings from George Nakashima on the underside. Unforgettable project and experience!
