Design and layout for Quid (now part of Bright Press). In addition to the layout, I was responsible for creating the black-and-white line artwork for all the marques along with some of the colour versions when a high quality image was not available from the manufacturer. I also wrote the text for the profiles of the famous designers and manufacturers that appear in the book.
Here's the cover blurb:
Car Marques is an illustrated guide to iconic automobile badges of the last 120 years. This unique book examines over 90 marques from around the world, with annotated diagrams and detailed information about their origins and the concepts behind them. Feature spreads show how the badges of marques such as Buick and Cadillac have changed over time. It also contains profiles of major figures in the history of the automotive industry, including Gottlieb Daimler, William C. Durant, and Enzo Ferrari. The badges are arranged in alphabetical order and include world-famous marques such as Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, BMW, Corvette, Lamborghini, Mercedes, Mustang, Porsche, and Toyota. This definitive resource is a must-have for car spotters, motoring aficionados and design enthusiasts, providing an unparalleled depth of information in a beautifully designed package.
