Design Guide 06.13.11

I recently finished an industrial design guide which I worked on with two extremely talented industrial designers: Dirk Ahlgrim and Gen Suzuki.Throughout the project we did our best to capture and illustrate our thoughts on form, color, materials, finishes, interaction, branding and packaging.

The book is 98 Pages, 7 3/4″ x 9 3/4″ outfitted in a satin blind embossed front and back cover.

The layout was inspired by Joseph Muller Brockmann’s book, Grid Systems.

The headline text is set in Otl Aicher’s “Rotis” and the long(body?) copy is set in “Garamond”.

Red pages help visually separate each section and the attached ribbon bookmark built into the the spine allows the reader mark subsections.


Due to the confidential nature of the content I am unable to publicly share full resolution photos of the cover or inside spreads. If interested in hearing more about this project, please contact me directly
