As a book designer, I find it best to be responsible for the whole book design. Including the purchasing of the photographs. I have occasionally had the pleasure of working with respected photographers and have been given the opportunity to view personal collections with rare images. The Doors project was particularly special in this regard, as I really like their music.

To publish full colour photographs requires high-quality paper and special consideration of the given book’s format. The process of selecting paper for layouts rich in photographs can be a challenging job because of the costs and quality expectations. Creating art books on a low budget is limiting for the designer, but sometimes small details such as metallic folio can give the needed feature refinement.
