MOD – Falklands 25 years commemoration ceremony handbook

A prestigious event and what a lovely job to work on.
The design had already been created and approved. I was brought in to streamline it, pull the artwork together and oversee the print, which was almost a disaster, the printer having omitted to buy in the correct cream paper stock. But in the end we got them to flood the pages with 7% yellow and the same effect was achieved.
I watched the flypast from The Mall on the day and it was great to see so many people clutching their copies as souvenirs of the day.

MOD pitch document

We were all so disappointed that this pitch was rejected as we had really put a lot of work into it, confident that JM would get the job. Ah well. You usually can't beat a bit of Impact and Helvetica Neue.
