We made a book. Working closely with author Cas Oh, Co-Specs contains an A-Z of recipes and histories behind the great classic cocktails. Featuring an art deco inspired hardback cover and the use of full colour inks plus metallic gold the book lists the earliest printed appearance of each recipe in its original format.
Co-Specs won Best Book for Arts Craftsmanship at the IPPY Awards as well as Best Debut Drinks Book at Fortnum & Mason Food & Drinks Awards (amongst other awards too). Co-Specs is available to purchase via Amazon with gift editions available via www.cospecs.com.
With a final page count at over 480 a set of carefully designed grids were essential in creating clean and consistent layouts to deliver cocktail ingredients and the method of making.
United Creatives took the Co-Specs book project from early design and concept stages through to final press artwork and proofing. Our role included creating a bespoke typeface,editing and page layout along with the latter pre-press technical processes required to deliver accurate colour, emboss and print quality.
