Athens 2004 opening and closing ceremonies

Jack Morton created and produced the opening and closing ceremonies for the Olympic Games 2004 in Athens. 1000s of photographs were taken and a selection was was put into a 220pp book called 'Ceremony' which told the story of the making of these events.
I picture edited, designed and created the layouts and artwork, based on a rough template that had already been set up. I also went to the printers to do a press pass etc.
I am really pleased final printed book, and it was hard choosing just 8 spreads to show here.
I also designed an invitation for the book launch; my idea being a 6pp concertina leaflet that could be torn along perforations to make individual postcards, one being the reply paid card acceptance card. Sad to report that the printer used perforations that were too close together and thus the things just fell apart once opened. I was SO disappointed!
Other landscape format postcards were also designed.
