In August 2014, the world will mark the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the First World War. To commemorate this event, we were commissioned to design a publication by King's College London Archives & Special Collections as part of their series of research guides. The brief was to create a publication in harmony with their existing guides but which also had to include extensive copy while making expressive use the Collection's archival imagery from the period. This resulted in a 36 page, self-cover A5 booklet with an elegant, sophisticated and clear design including the application of nice, typographic detail throughout.
