What

The book will be a photographic showcase of my collection. I've compiled over 400 items which will be displayed and will include many detailed images.

I've collated everything from posters, literature, mascots, tickets and personal identification, to many of the souvenir items (everything from ceramics to tea-towels) created for the Games. The book will feature my 'Holy Grail piece' - all 10 sections, page by page, of the original Visual Identity manual, photographed and shown at around 75% scale. A minimum of four of these sections will be shown as 3-page foldouts.

All the items to be shown are part of my private collection.

How

The original Visual Identity standards manual will influence the design and layout of the book. The items will be photographed using the original souvenir catalogue as a style reference, retaining all essential details. Roughly two hundred snippets of information will accompany the photography. As with all the items produced for the Games it will be multi-lingual (English, German and French).
