2 proposals
Very common in the work of a designer is to present the customer several proposals for the same product image. We always have a preferred but not always which is chosen.
Hundreds of good ideas end up forgotten in a folder on your computer lost ...
Here we present two options for the book image (even in the oven) the publisher Herder Mexico is about to release. Both follow the same aesthetic but the effects are different.
I prefer the latter.
Editorial Herder Mexico: We survived
Jan Schultz should be included in the story of the editors of race, by beings whose nose, which is neither more nor less than to know their time but which will contribute to perpetuate the office of editor and wonder of the printed content. Every time we talk about the publishing business and the survival strategies of the sector, their eyes shine and points his nose. An editor is a hound, a smell in person, an instinctive total.
More than 30 years that Jan is part of the Hispanic publishing industry, with average professional life in Europe and everything else in his beautiful and beloved Mexico.
But it is also a lover of the object, a cultivator and preserver of the object, perhaps one of the people most prized first editions in his library. Instead of buying bricks has managed to buy books and now cradles a treasure!
With Jan learned everything I know about the publishing business: to understand a book beyond its subject matter, to think a cover, to mark up text. But I have brought to the construction of the editorial focus, because as an architect modernize edilicios overwhelming environments and discovered what thinking is a publisher and later libraries. I can say then that in the course of the years we have built a solid team, learning and continuous improvement of work. In that relationship we have built a publishing worlds on both sides of the Atlantic.
Here we are presenting what we are doing from Barcelona to Mexico Herder: Two years ago the virtual house , then the publisher, the library and books in full: cover design and layout of texts. survived is the continuation of this path.
Celebrity Gods
A couple of years Ben Dorman made contact with us because he needed to "renew and rejuvenate" the image of the journal Folklore Studies. From the Nanzan Institute decided to change the name of the magazine by that of Asian Ethnology and from the proposed somosene makeover.
It was a very cute, make contact with Japanese culture and art we love and come to find common working place in a context whose protocol has little in common with our daily work for the West.
Two years later, Ben returns home because he needed a contact original, cult, sensitive, beautiful, attractive new work for him, how in the years after World War II, for lack of information from the media , focused image of the new religious as if they were celebrities. When we wrote recalled the success of previous work for Asian Ethnology and how happy he was doing. So for Celebrity Gods, a work done from the University of Hawaii Press, we called again. And it happened again they had a great time doing it, Ben was delighted with the result of the work and all equipment Nanzan University in Japan, with whom he works. In this team we remember our friend Jim Heisig, for whom we designed covers from which was born a true friendship.
