Here is the official Press Release!

Eleven is a collection of images of footballers (originally commissioned for a campaign by Medhi Benmamar and Alvin Chan at Nike) shot by Rick Guest. Designed by Yacht Associates, printed by Generation Press and published through by Generation Yacht, Eleven sports an embossed soft white leather hardback cover. "The concept for this book was to create 'prints' that were bound into a book, rather than images to be 'designed' around, hence it became very much an exercise in removing superfluous content and almost designing out the design to leave something that communicated through it's tactility and functionality," explains Yacht Associates' Richard Bull.
-
"Each page has a serrated tear line down the inner edge, which serves to aid removal but more importantly acts as 'nod' to the owner that permission is granted to remove pages if desired," adds Bull. "There are eleven 'Hero' shots and eleven 'Action Shots', the later images are fold out landscapes and the look follows a format where a fold-out appears after every 'Hero' shot. The technical challenges we faced required an enormous amount of research and development with Generation Press - which culminated in the book taking almost a year from conception to finished item. Published by Generation Yacht this book exists in a very limited edition of 100 copies and is not for sale."
-
"The book was initially a reaction to the ephemeral nature of commercial work, to give substance to not just the work, but to the experience of shooting it," says Guest of the project. "A reminder of the journey, travelling madly around Europe, every day a different country, a different player, working with a fantastically tight crew, shooting frenetically within the tiny windows in the players schedules. Later however, it became more of a thankyou to all those involved; of course they get paid and get to tell their mates they were involved, but it's not the same as holding something you were part of in your hands, something to be proud of. All the people involved gave more than they were asked, it made sense to say thanks in a way that did justice to that."

We used cast coated stock to produce these invitations and envelopes, to give them a very high gloss finish one side, with an uncoated reverse. when you see the art you will understand why...

Oh and we used the opportunity to show off our enviromental icons designed by Build

D&AD Introduced us to NB: Studio to do the tickets for the awards evening and after such a successful collaboration, we were really looking forward to what we would be asked to produce for the actual awards evening.
-
This is the D&AD Awards Ceremony Programme. Cover stock was the black rubbery Plike from GF Smith with a lovely Mowhawk text sheet, also from the GF Smith range. Having foil blocked the previous project we had too many images to foil again so we screen printed the cover and printed the text lithographically.
-
The cover really worked well, a little tricky but with some care and attention came out beautifully. The cover folded back on its self wrapping around the programme to give a clean spine, when opened it revealed the gorgeous white stitches - this really helped sharpen the lead of this pencil!
-
NB: Studio were great throughout the project and really trusted us, especially with the fact there was no time to proof any of the processes. NB: Studio were under pressure, time was tight but no compromises were taken and the programmes arrived in time, and looking great!

D&AD Awards dinner tickets, designed by NB:Studio
-
This is our most recent work for D&AD and our first real opportunity to work with NB:Studio,
D&AD had put us together for this project, it was a real pleasure to work with the guys at NB they really valued our input into how best to produce this ticket and envelope. We hadn't worked together before so building trust quickly was key to getting this project to look so good!
-
One side of the ticket was was foil-blocked in white and yellow foil on black Colorplan, the reverse was printed lithographically on white Colorplan, we then duplexed the two together and die cut with radius corners to give a lovely sturdy 700 gsm Ticket.
-
The envelope was was made from Black Colorplan with a large foil blocked image in white foil that came out really crisp and clear, we then die cut the envelope and made it up, with a die cut sticker to secure it closed.
-
Congratulations to NB:Studio for such amazing visuals and livery for the ceremony, it was mind blowingly good!
