the vimeo video awards

new (and old) book
the façade book finally arrived back from the printers at the end of last week, at least the book block did, the covers are being made from the billboards featured in the book itself…
some of the billboards are still in use, so we will be having the covers cut to size and made in small batches as the recycled billboard covers become available during the coming few weeks…
the first series have been made with the red & blue hoardings from ‘martijn engelbregt’ shown below, i will post some more images to ‘me work’ during the coming week… the book is available for sale in a limited run of 500 copies, we are also doing a window display in a local bookshop next week, most probably using the plastic letters i made for the book and some old recycled bits of design stuff made earlier for the project…
