Project Description
A self-initiated project tracing the life and story of my great grandfather William Rogers. I wrote and designed this book in celebration of his life.Production Lesson(s)
Cyclus offset takes printer toner beautifully, and by going up to high gsm paper stock, the pages feel lovely and heavy. I also learned the importance of upholding a good relationship with the printer; if you choose someone who cares about the quality of the outcome and values the project as much as you do, then it's worth every extra penny.
