Cate School approached us about designing a book for the school’s upcoming centennial celebration. The 300 page bard bound image wrap cover book has hundreds of archival and color images paired with text written by one of the school’s retired faculty members. Design of the book required great coordination with school officials because the book was designed in New Orleans and the designers did not have immediate access to the schools archival collection to know what was available. Through phone and email the designer was able to communicate the needs for the design to have school officials in California go through the archival collection to supply needed material.
