Project Projects designed a set of 4 different covers

A brand new specimen book will be given to all attendees at the talks. The specimen was produced by Jack Curry, directed by Paul, and the cover was designed by Project Projects. The 112 pages show our entire library, including some upcoming releases.

Project Projects designed the press sheet for the covers to also function as a poster, which is extremely hard to photograph. The flourescent ink has to be seen in person to be fully appreciated!
