A 25 year retrospective of wedding photographer genevieve de manio

 

SILVER: Moments Into Memories is divided into three sections based on a narrative approach developed in collaboration with the author; she views these three themes as a reflection of her approach and career.

The images of the first section, Stillness, capture moments that are not often top-of-mind when one thinks about a wedding, yet a photograph of them prompts a nuanced memory of the day. Connection is everywhere one turns on a wedding day. In the images in this section, a connection might be represented by a look, a touch, a shared moment. Energy: these images capture the spirit and style of people in motion, and they are almost all candid.

The exquisite design and materials selected for the production of SILVER are a tactile honoring of the extraordinary moment that is the wedding day. The book’s size offers a generous canvas for Gigi’s portfolio. The expert typesetting is enhanced by metallic silver spot ink used with a restrained sophistication.

The text pages are hardbound and section sewn into a french blue head and tail band. The case is enveloped by light gray linen textile and silver metallic ink endpaper with silver foil stamping on the face and spine. Wrapping the bottom of the case is a short jacket featuring a full bleed photo. Printed with silver and black ink on vellum, the effect is ethereal and akin to the book’s wedding veil.

Voted "BEST" in the Self-Publishers, Illustrated Category,
Annual New England Book Show 2018

 

To commemorate 25 years of excellence in the lighting design industry, Available Light hired us to design a 112-page book covering the company history and milestone projects in three disciplines: Museum Exhibition, Architecture, and Special Events.

Using the President and Creative Director Steven Rosen's analogy of lighting design as a three-dimensional watercolor painting, the design is centered around the artful placement of photographic imagery. Smaller project photos and text are set-off by expansive background photos and screens. The cover echoes this layered effect by a two-part process of ink and embossing for the book title. A "25" anniversary logomark was also designed as part of the project.

Where Creativity Works

 

Montserrat College of Art is a small art college in Beverly, MA. Over the years the brand identity and print design varied widely across the school and among departments. Employed as the lead designer and creative director in 2018, a cohesive brand was developed including color palette, typography, and supporting graphic visuals.

"uncorked" annual wine dinner and auction invitation

 

The Asian-fusion cuisine of Karen Akunowicz (Myers+Chang) inspired the use of a rich, tropical bird of paradise pattern for the invitation suite of the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston's annual Uncorked Wine Dinner & Auction. In addition to the pattern, a custom logotype is set off by Neenah silver stardream paper. The entire invitation was mailed in a clear cellophane envelope, showing the celebratory pattern on delivery.

Report on Slavery, Memory, & Reconciliation

 

I was honored and humbled to design a historic document for Georgetown: The Report of the Working Group on Slavery, Memory, and Reconciliation. The 120-page book outlines Georgetown’s difficult and recently publicized history with slavery, and details a comprehensive set of recommendations to the President of the University to account for and redress Georgetown’s past relationship.
