Printing

Wrapped in a rich, dark green cloth cover, this book, on the history and power of communication, packs a visual punch with a deep red punch of silkscreen that lands on top of a debossed illustration. The layered effect is anything but subtle and that’s just the right message the book is meant to communicate. Inside, a simple 2-color print job is enhanced by big typography, dynamic charts and graphs, and a solid layout.

Project Description

Erik Modig is an established artist as well as a doctor and researcher at one of Europe's leading business schools, Stockholm School of Economics. His research is published in Journal of Advertising, International Journal of Advertising and Journal of Product & Brand Management. In 2014 he dropped Snask a line, asking us to help him design his upcoming book: Control – effective Communication and the Battle for our Thoughts.

The book was released early 2015 and Modig’s design brief was: “make an immortal and timeless – yet modern classic that will never die”. In the book, Modig doesn't launch new buzzwords or silly theories, instead he focuses on summarising what’s been said about communication over the last 3000 years; everything from rhetorics and propaganda to pr and advertisement. Modig’s conclusion is a meta model that describes all types of communication disciplines. The book design is a modern classic, carefully crafted and printed – and it's one of those books you must read before you die.
