For the cork midsummer 2013 programme we put the focus on the city. Using an aerial photograph of Cork as the cover image communicated the idea of the city as a canvas while also working as the festival map. Being presented with a smaller print budget than the previous year forced us to rethink the production, leading to a larger programme on better paper that had less pages and was saddle stitched. This allowed us to create more impact with the object and also the layout.
