We’ve said it before. When it comes to commemorative books of all kinds, a clear, shared understanding of a project’s scope and deadlines is absolutely essential, especially when an anniversary event is counting on the availability of books to gift to donors, partners, faculty, and staff! We had 18 months to get copies of this book in hand, and both parties worked diligently to meet this goal. Significant to the success of this publication is the fact that we worked closely with SLCC’s internal book committee, establishing an easy rhythm among all the players early in the game. 

All in all, this book is a stellar example of what happens when all parties commit to the schedule and how an iterative, collaborative approach enhances a project and the client experience along the way. What made it all possible was a seamless collaboration with a team that was crystal clear on their vision, was highly responsive and organized, and had a dedicated archivist partner to pick out the best images from their extensive collection.
