Now all they had to figure out was how to engrave the concrete and attach it to the books.Īfter multiple engraving attempts left the concrete broken, Bolger asked Lasercut Plus to experiment with laser cutting until they ended up with the results you see here – something the company had never tried before. This left them with book covers boasting rough edges – perfect for the tactile effect they were going for. Living for these types of challenges, Bolger’s press maintenance team cut the Durock sheets down with a power saw (ensuring that they would be breathing dust for the next month). Strolling through Home Depot, Bolger’s engineer discovered large sheets of Durock cement board, which is often used as a subfloor or wall base beneath tile. Inspired by French design firm Murmure’s years-long dabbling in blending printing and concrete, Bolger was challenged to not only create concrete covers for the awards book, but also to add engraved titles to the front cover, too. Designed by Dress Code and produced by our friends at Bolger, this 188-page (plus cover) book underscores its celebration of the “impact” that its Young Guns Award winners are making by tucking their bios in between covers…made of concrete! And as it turns out in the case of this book of Art Directors Club ‘Young Guns’ Award winners, inspiration can even be as close as your nearest Home Depot. You can find design inspiration almost anywhere.
