Design Rationale

The goal with this gifty illustrated edition was to create something elegantly commercial that would appeal to the love that people have for Black Caviar. Finding the cover shot by Bronwen Healy enabled us to crop in tightly on the horse at full flight. We got the type out of her way, immortalised her in black and white and then used her distinctive salmon and black theme to build out the case and endpaper designs. The internals had to balance photography from multiple sources with a lot of words and we used DPS photographic pauses to help set the pace.
