Volkswagen Bug Book
15 Aug 2012
It’s all about fit. We tested this theory while designing The Volkswagen Bug Book. The 148-page coffee table book began as hundreds of loose photos collected over the years by author Dan Ouellette and sent to our team in a small box. Linda grew up in a Ford family (her father Jerry owned a dealership in Elko, Nevada), but her love of publication design and her admiration for the Bug’s ultra-cool design, made this the perfect project for us car-crazy designers.
SHOW and TELL
Founded in 1931, USC’s Doheny Memorial Library is both historic and totally current, now renovated and retrofitted to accommodate today’s technological needs. To promote its grand re-opening, we spotlighted the dichotomy between tradition and technology-using tech-heavy elements against a backdrop of arresting photos of the library’s classical architecture. The design concept was so well received, it was soon applied to a full-fledged capital campaign. Note cards, postcards, bookmarks, posters and more were sold at the campus bookstore to help preserve unique resource.
