I recently completed a 'rapid' turnaround book design for Racemaker Press. It is a rather handsome biography, great photography and a really interesting perspective charting the growth of motorsport in America from a behind the scenes guy; someone who managed and orchestrated the most wins of any racing team member in the history of the sport.

The drivers are the names you remember, the limelight is on them and they enjoy the celebrity and the accolades but I love finding out about the quiet men, the guys who go about there business holding everything together - the brains behind the operation so to speak.

Anyway, the book looks great. No expense spared on paperstock and binding, a contemporary design presented in classic style. i really enjoyed creating a style for this type of publication, especially the jigsaw puzzle of image selection and fitting - what to present full bleed for maximum impact, how to pace it so there was a good mix of pure image spreads with more sober body copy and everything in between. Apart from the tight turn around time, which inevitably caused a few speed bumps (pun intended), alongside my already pretty heavy workload, it was tight!
