I was tasked with art directing, designing, and project managing the first-ever photo book by Cottage Life. This project was a true testament to upholding the magazine’s brand mandate in the midst of the expanding product line and merchandise offered at the Spring Cottage Life Show 2019. The book, Summer Captured: A Celebration of Canada’s Favourite Season, is a one-of-a-kind collection of ultimate summer moments that will warm the hearts of the reader, no matter the season. The project was an exercise in digital asset management: the photography showcased in the book serves as a brief celebration of iconic cottage imagery sourced from the memorable winning Photo Contest entries collected over the past 30 years.
