A new book for the Santa Barbara Mission Archive-Library has just arrived! This one is special because it’s printed in full color. I often do color covers and dust jackets, but color text is often very expensive, and even doing four pages in color doesn’t happen that often in my projects. However, I’ve recently started using a digital printer who can do short runs in color for nearly the same cost as black and white, and this booklet was a perfect match for that capability. With twenty-three images, most of which are really vivid, it would have been pretty tough to turn them all into greyscale. Here’s a sample page spread. You can see here how we used one of the blues from the cover in the running heads and captions, too.
Upon receiving his shipment, the book’s author, Robert Senkewicz, a longtime collaborator, wrote this:
To say that we were pleased with them would be a massive understatement! We thought they turned out sensationally.
