patterns – new surface design   published in may 2007
book design and cover illustration and type treatment

Following the international success of the FL@33-designed 200% cotton book in 2004 and the sequel 300% cotton from 2006 we were recommissioned to design this patterns book on new surface design.

The book cover has a special finishing with spot uv highlights and sexy black flock.
You can see some details of the untrimmed press sheet of the cover here.

'Patterns' features 400 colour illustrations on 240 pages. All selected images were organised and sorted by colour by the book's author drusilla cole. To avoid some of the patterns potentially clashing with each other we had the freedom to edit the whole chain of 400 patterns throughout the book by featuring the most representable ones bigger and vice versa. A particularly versatile grid was developed for this challenging project. And thanks to this grid and a lot of work everything came together just fine at the end.
