Description

Faced with a small budget and big ambitions, we wanted to create a piece that could have multiple functions. The press sheet for the book was designed as a poster before being trimmed and bound into a book. The cover of the book was also made into a postcard. In the end, the poster, book and postcard looked like hybrids.
