design and print management
This was a great opportunity to show the amazing Scottish National Jazz Orchestra in the best possible light: The new brochure, presenting the history of concert series, recordings and high profile collaborations of the last 18 years, was due within 4 days and is to be accompanying the big band’s upcoming visit to the USA.
Combining a linear bulleted time line with stylish b+w photography by Andy Catlin, Derek Clark, Colin Robertson, this A5 landscape 16pp booklet ended up in a 5-day printing queue before processing — quality was our main objective and the stock had to be an uncoated FSC accredited product.
I aimed for a minimalistic design with a dirty red as highlighting colour to the overall stylishly dark and stage focussed photography, which received a deepening contrast treatment. The only full colour elements are the SNJO album covers, scattered along the time line.
