Birthday Book
Compiled by Carla Ciminera
This was a really fun project. On the occasion of her brother's 80th birthday, this client commissioned this unique book to celebrate his life. She asked the entire extended family to write messages and potted histories, collected photographs from all stages of their collective lives, including ancestral ones. I then put everything together into a book for desk-top publishing. I used a site that allowed for copies of the book to be bought by each member of the family as a memento, and the birthday boy received the special, beautifully bound copy you see below.
