A lifetime in a book

We recently produced a series of photobooks to give as a gift to a gentleman who was turning 60. The idea for the books came from the man’s wife (our client) who got in touch with over 200 of the man’s friends and asked them to send a birthday wish for inclusion in the book. MonkeyRed than designed the books, using these birthday wishes as well as images of the man’s life over the last 60 years.

Well, the response was amazing and just highlighted how much of an impact this man had made on so many other people’s lives. What started out as a single book (100 pages long) had to be extended into 2 books of 90 pages each – there were just that many messages and images to include.

From our point of view, it was a wonderful book to work on, and we’d love to work on more just like it. We can’t help but to get a look into people’s lives when we produce their photobooks, and to see a life as magnificent and accomplished as this one was quite inspiring.
