This book was conceived to communicate the achievements of WET, an organization that creates experiences through installations that harness the magic of nature’s elements, something they wished to recreate on the printed page. With various paper textures, varnishes and inks on the interior and the use of foil stamping on the outside they managed to convey different feelings visually and upon touch.
Not quite a book, and not your traditional portfolio, these pages carry a message about the firm with striking photography, flawless production and a lot of personality.
