Paul Dry Books: City Abandoned

CITY ABANDONED

Dimensions: 11x9″ | Hardcover | page count: 147

Designing a minimalistic book that compliments the content while still being able to convey the spirit of the author’s vision is no simple task. And “City Abandoned,” our latest book design for Paul Dry Books, is no exception in this regard.  Each of Vincent Feldman’s powerful images required its own space to breathe on the page, and the overall design invokes the importance of the work that Vincent has undertaken with such a large theme. This book features over 150 photographs, each with an accompanying history, outlining the story behind each building. The volume is an eloquent homage to Philadelphia’s once proud architectural past and a sublime call-to-action to rescue the city’s architectural heritage.

Incidentally, this book won a Silver Award in the prestigious Graphis Design Annual.
