PROJECT
The La Trobe Guide of Sark Book Design
ABOUT THE CLIENT
Rob of Lazarus Publications NFP and his wife Lynn have been visiting the island of Sark, one of the smaller Channel Islands situated just off the Normandy coast, for many years. There they discovered the original 1914 The La Trobe Guide to the Coast, Caves and Bays of Sark, which led them to some of the most beautiful locations on the island. Co-editors Rob Pilsworth and Jeremy La Trobe-Bateman teamed together to recreate this amazing book for 100th anniversary edition and revised editions thereafter.
BRIEF
The La Trobe Guide of Sark, had been out of print for almost twenty years until the centenary edition was published by Lazarus Publications NFP in 2014. As with the centenary edition, this eighth edition was to be highly based on the original 1914 edition of the book. The book would be sold locally on the island of Sark and on Amazon. With all proceeds going to the Professor Saint Trust.
CONCEPT
The design for this eighth edition was to be highly based on the first and sixth edition of The La Trobe Guide. I aimed to mirror the manner and appearance, keeping true to the flavour and charm of the original text, cover design and even inner advertisement style. It was paramount that this little pocket book kept its history through the revised editions.
I was also pleased to hear that my name would be featured in the acknowledgement section.
