After being shown examples of various industry-standard paper books, we were instructed to choose a specific paper company and line for which we were to create a paper sample book. We had to determine format, size, and concept. I was inspired by the gray and blue tones of the Neenah CLASSIC® Linen line, and chose to create ship wrecked theme book that would showcase the quality of the paper. The entire book, including the cover and all the outer bindings, was crafted using Neenah CLASSIC® Linen papers in different weights and colors. The cover of the book features a die-cut of the title, Ship Wrecked. The inside has four separately designed pieces which all feature a quotation pertaining to the Ship Wrecked theme, as well as combinations of photography, hand drawings, and vector graphics. In addition, a waterfall and sidebar are included with information about the paper line.
