Water, Light, Time
by David Doubilet

The client who sent me this book is a keen diver.  The underwater photographs in it are just amazing, and they inspired me to create a Japanese paper collage of a sunset at sea. I love the contrast between the sobriety of the case and the vivid splashes of bright orange in the lining of its sleeve and case.
The outside of the slipcase. Very sober, in navy leather and a blue textured Japanese paper
This is a landscape book, so the spine is on the short side, as this angle shows
Front and back covers showing the collage. At the back you can just make out the inside of the sleeve, with its vibrant orange suede, a colour which is only hinted at in the cover design. This also shows that the book is not titled on the spine, as is normally the case, but on the actual front plate.
Fronte cover, with its unusual title in Platinum leaf

The spine of the sleeve and the inside of the case, lined in vibrant orange. I love the contrast between the sober look of the book and these hidden flashes of colour
