 "Academy Press produced a jewel of a book for us to celebrate our 50th anniversary. Clients and colleagues continue to remark on the elegance of the publication. The process of decision-making and production was smooth and effortless. It was a real joy to work with Academy Press."

President, Sasaki Associates, Inc.
Objective
Create a book on the occasion of Sasaki Associates’ 50th anniversary to showcase the firm’s design work over 50 years.
Process
Publisher Jan Cigliano and book designer Sara Stemen met with the firm’s principals and marketing director to sketch out the content and design schemes. Printing options and costs outlined; schedule refined. Working closely with Sasaski Associates, we developed the design, layout, and production specifications, and selected artwork.
Solution
Design a book that expresses the modernist attitude of the firm’s founder, Hideo Sasaki, and the firm’s contemporary success in urban design, master planning, interior design, and architecture. The book’s message is communicated with dramatic photos of key projects and few words, and an elegant classic-and-modern design of bold and muted colors, mostly black-and-white and a few color photographs, special papers, 5-color printing, and a clean paperback format.
Result
The book, Sasaki Associates: 50, given to friends, family, and clients of the firm.
8 x 8 paperback, 5-color throughout, 108 pages, 6 months, 2,200 units at $21.85 per unit.
