COMPLETE PACKAGE
FL@33 was commissioned by Penrhyn Books to design and typeset five books, including their covers. The five publications form a book series entitled The Bitter Sea, covering British history during the period of the Roman empire.
___ FL@33 also developed the identity for Penrhyn Books, including a logo, stationery with bookmark / business card combinations, letterheads, address label stickers, a promo card, and Penrhyn Books' website with integrated online shop.
___ The books were released one at a time, with the first publication followed by the official website launch. The last publication completed The Bitter Sea book series.
___ FL@33's Tomi Vollauschek was responsible for the complete process from design to production and created everything from book design, cover design – including photographs of the sea, the publisher's identity, website, and the typesetting of a total of 1770 pages with additional footnotes, quotes, and 246 illustrations – all retouched, modified, and/or created by FL@33. The illustrations for the books created by FL@33 included maps, diagrams, and tables.
LOGO | ADDITIONAL INFO
Shown here is the logo in both versions – the main logo – a monogram consisting of a 'P' and 'B' and also an alternative logo version. The monogram has to be aligned with the correct distance from the left edge of letterheads, business cards, stickers and the like in order for the 'P' to 'appear' and become legible. The alternative logo featuring the vertical Penrhyn Books along the left side of the logo's 'P' is only used when positioning along a left edge is not possible. The negative space of the letter 'P' represents the missing pieces history attempts to interpret and also complete – similar to a puzzle.
