A photographic archive of the St. Lawrence shoreline, sequenced into a single book with one grid doing all the work.
Overview
Two hundred images at wildly different crops, and a client who wanted every one of them in. A twelve-column grid with four sanctioned image widths, so sequencing became an editing decision rather than a layout one. A 240-page book laid out in nine days, and a template the archivist still uses for new intake.
