Throwback Thursday. 26 years ago!

This book was published in 1998 with metallic gold as a 5th color (cmyk plus gold) and here’s a photo of my copy. It was one of the first, if not the first, pocket-sized hardcover books that I recall seeing. Asked by art director Victor Weaver at Hyperion Books (Disney) to design an understated elegant cover, I didn’t know that this would be one of many How To books in a series by the author, each one following this design format. It got very tricky and definitely not optimal to have to replace CEO with Rainmaker and with Marketing Superstar. Doubtful this design would look like it looks had I known titles would vary greatly in length. Hmm.

Twenty one years ago I created this promotion. Letterpress printed and die-cut beautifully by Edition Rhino, Brooklyn.

I snail mailed this promo at the time to Los Angeles magazine’s Los Angeles magazine’s AD Joe Kimberling. Inspired by it he asked if I would design something very similar for their 2005 Best of LA cover. Later in the process Joe Zeff was called in to add dimensionality and realism to my 2-D illustration — something he is particularly skilled at. Here’s the result.

Blast from the past: Fourteen years ago in 2011 I created this photo-illustrated Village Voice cover. It was based on AD John Dixon’s concept and rough sketch (thank you John). I was excited to work on this project and remember each apt. buzzer name was an illustration in itself and my psd file just kept getting bigger and bigger.
