Book Design -- Bob Peak: Reflections (unpublished)

Bob Peak: Reflections was a proposal for a book
that never saw print. This is the design for
the Title Page.


An example of an opening chapter spread.

My intention was to design pages with no more than
three pieces of art. Here I wanted to control the eye
and slow down the pace of the viewer by using
images that point to the opposite page.

We know in our public consciousness that speed skating and skiing
are fast sports. Bob Peak's art beautifully resonates with that 
sense of kinetic energy. Because our culture reads from
left-to-right, I designed this layout to take advantage
of that natural flow in order to enhance
the drama of this spread.
