One of my favorite projects for Limn magazine was creating the press kit for advertisers. I wanted something really tactile and I knew of a place over by UC Berkeley that could print blue prints the old fashioned way. But what I really loved is that you could also do a brown print. Who knew! The powerful smell of ammonia used during the process could almost knock you over, but the prints came out with a velvety texture that is so rich you almost want to take a bite. Each book was then hand-trimmed, drilled, and bound together with Chicago screws. To finish off the kit we then took a drive down the coast to a company that packaged smoked salmon–they were the only people we could find with a large enough industrial vacuum packer to seal each booklet in with two issues of Limn.
