We Made This

I wanted to celebrate the 10th birthday of my studio, so I thought a book about the number 10 might fit the bill.

10 x 10 is a 10 inch-square book. It features 10 stories I wrote and illustrated about the number 10. Each story is 10 lines long, typeset in 10pt Brandon Grotesque. It was printed in a limited edition of 100, with 10 different coloured covers, of which there were 10 copies each.

The books were printed by Benwells, with a single spot colour, metallic silver (Pantone 877 U). The covers were printed on 350gsm Colorplan with a cord emboss, and the text was printed on 170gsm Munken Pure Rough.
