Case Study

Illustrating Fashion: Concept to Creation

Fairchild Books

Fairchild Books approached Tango Media to create a new page design that took this industry-standard fashion illustration textbook from greyscale to full color. In this publication, Steven Stipelman’s beautiful illustrations were the clear star of the show. So we kept our design clean, elegant and subtle so that it complimented the artwork.

Project

Tango Media handled the initial text design, layout and typesetting for this 480-page book. Additionally, we handled the photoshop clean-up of the scanned illustrations and the pre-press work for the final printed book.

Scope of Project

Tango Media has worked on a large variety of projects for Fairchild Books, including: book cover designs, text extract designs, layout, typesetting and illustration.

Style

As a publisher of fashion and interior design books, Fairchild requires each project to be beautiful, stylish, and easily navigable. Tango Media does trend forecasting research to provide fresh designs that are forward-thinking and will rival the fashion magazines.

“I am always impressed by Tango Media’s efficiency and quick turnaround on projects.  I have worked with Tango Media for several years, and I would highly recommend them for design, illustrations, and art-related projects.  Not only do they deliver fantastic products, but they also have a friendly staff that is willing to take on challenges!”
