I was tasked to lead and manage the conceptualization, development and creation of Capturing Archetypes: Twenty Years of Sideshow Collectibles. Working closely with the Creative Director, I was also tasked in creating the outline, organizing all the products, and the various formats into a visually stunning presentation. I was the lead in the Graphic Design department helping to create the visual look and feel of the book, selecting type, Pantone colors and layout templates to ensure a uniform and cohesive design workflow. Collaborating with the rest of my Graphic Design Department team, we then each took a section of the book and designed layouts and special features celebrating expansive collection of figures produced by Sideshow. I was also tasked with managing the production of the publication, overseeing color proofs, samples and file prep for pre-production.
