The Photobook - 10 Golden Rules for photobook designers


I came across the following slide show, 10 Golden Rules for Photobook Designers. Designers and photographers should commit these rules to memory. I couldn't find a link to this so I could credit, if anybody knows please let me know. Not surprisingly the post originated in The Netherlands, home of some of the best book designers anywhere.










Since making this post my friend Gabriele in Hamburg tells me that the author of the photobook designer rules is the Dutch designer Sybren Kuiper who among other things designed Viviane Sassen's book Flamboya. You can see more HERE.

    Hi Harvey,
    the author is Dutch Designer Sybren Kuiper, who - among other things, of course - designed Viviane Sassen's "Flamboya". Best regards from Hamburg, Gabriele

    appropriating & embellishing Syb's Golden Rules for a photobook symposium organised earlier this year by the Third Floor Gallery and FFotgallery in Cardiff Wales.
