mirage design

On Saturday I was lucky enough to attend the launch of the Tech Girls are Chic (not geek) book by Jenine Beekhuyzen and Rebecca Dorries.

mirage design was fortunate enough to be the design studio chosen for this project and it proved to be a challenging and rewarding project.

This is the first major photography role for mirage. I've dabbled before to help out clients here and there but this is the first photography project I've taken on where the photography is a key element of the job and the responsibility was a bit daunting. Feedback so far has been good - fortunately what I lack in photography skills I make up for in Photoshop!

During the course of the project it was decided to have full colour biography pages of each of the authors and in this instance I felt it was appropriate to use vector art as much as possible. In many ways this book became my Illustrator revival, pushing the boundaries of my previous knowledge in the program and forcing me to move outside of my comfort zone.

Overall I'm very happy with the result, particularly the cover and companion image inside, and fortunately for me the client is too!!
