1. Arboretum
Book by David Byrne; McSweeney's, 2006
Design: David Byrne and Danielle Spencer

Notes: Designed as a facsimile sketchbook with kraftpaper casewrap, Arboretum also has a 4'-foldout at the end with an appendix of sorts. We printed in duotone with black and metallic silver to mimic David's graphite drawings, and preserved the smudges and eraser marks. Typefaces chosen from a 1940s guide to trees to preserve a classic science theme.
