R2-ME2

“The R2-ME2: A Sideshow Exhibition Catalog represents a collection of talented artists the world over, sharing their vision of what can be done with a brave little astromech. Starting with a blank prototype of the Deluxe R2-D2 Sixth Scale Figure, Sideshow invited over 90 friends and fans to participate in customizing the iconic droid with a brand new look and collecting them into an Exhibition Catalog.” —Sideshow.com

I was tasked to lead and manage the conceptualization, development and creation of the R2-ME2: A Sideshow Exhibition Catalog. 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 other Graphic Designers in my department, we then each took a section of the book and designed layouts to complete the project. I was responsible for selecting photos, editing, color correcting and retouching the images used. I was also tasked with managing the production of the publication, overseeing color proofs, samples and file prep for pre-production.
