Ah, the innocent aspirations of youth. Oh, to be 6 years old again. The ubiquitous dream of “going to the olympics” is something felt by any youth that ever threw, kicked, or whacked a ball (or simply wore a leotard). This book is for the special few whose dream was realized. It’s a log of everything from planning to the smoking gun. It’s simply set and has some really thoughtful moments like the photo montage and the perforated band.
The official report book for the Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games. This book sums up the whole event from the planning stages all the way to the end of the games. The inside of the packaging is a photo of the opening ceremony, made up of thousands of photos taken during the games itself. To open the book, you need to break “The Finish Line” which symbolises the end of the race/journey.
The book binder had problems binding the book because of the different paper sizes for the different sections. They have never done it before. They eventually figured it out.
