The client:
Brighton City Reads
The brief:
To create a user-friendly guide to Ali Smith's award-winning
novel Hotel World as part of this city wide reading
initiative. To introduce and explain the City Reads concept
and to help attract new audiences to contemporary literature.
The format:
A5 24pp full-colour brochure.
The concept:
To mirror the exuberance and playfulness of Ali Smith's
writing in words and images. To create a resource that would
be stimulating and accessible to a wide range of readers.
I devised the overall concept and worked closely with the
designer throughout the process.
The feedback:
‘Just wanted to say what a fantastic job you did
on the creation of the City Reads brochure. It was a thoroughly
professional job in both execution and production. And even
better: you managed to deliver well within deadline, as
you always do! I look forward to working with you again
soon.’
Sarah Hutchings, Literature Events Manager,
Jubilee Library, Brighton
‘I have to say a word about the
City Reads brochure. It's one of the most critically fluid
and approachable pieces about a book I've seen; beautifully
compiled, designed, and written with grace; that it should
be about a book I wrote is like being given a very fine
gift indeed.’
