Project Description

Ray Toh’s Idea Book champions its goal of spreading seeds of ideas. Reflecting upon the illustrator’s personal collection of pencil sketches made originally on a recycled kraft notebook, the Idea Book recreates the art of Ray’s works in its original state and form. The vertebrae of the book reveals a pencil as the reader is invited to breathe new life into the works in organic and keen collaboration.

Production Lesson(s)

During production, I worked very closely with both the printers in Singapore (book) and UK (pencils) to avoid miscommunication as it's something new for me. I've spent months looking for the right kind of pencil all over and have insisted on seeing the sample before ordering, as many of the products turn out different from what I see online. Then to working out the structure of the book, folding and binding is a little tricky. Luckily the printer is very patient and willing to experiment with my idea, after rounds of mockup we finally nailed it. ”
