ANDY PILSBURY / TEA & TOAST

A huge congratulations to Andy Pilbury on his recent publication ‘Tea & Toast’ which explores the notion of parenthood through the art of photography and poem.

Tea & Toast is a reflection on the journey into parenthood, the space and time leading up to the birth of our first child. From the perspective of a soon-to-be father, its meditative and poetic approach questions the experience and transition from a place of understanding, familiarity, and structure into the chaotic, beautiful, and unknown.

The book design for this project came about fairly easily and organically. The overall design was inspired by the maternity folder we had throughout pregnancy, a bright orange cover with green string and silver ended ties, like the ones I had on folders at school. I pulled a serif typeface throughout with some light graphic detailing. And finally, the folded nature of the book block with overhanging pages leant itself similarly to the maternity folders structure, where the pages always seemed to overspill and were always visible.

The books will be handbound with all images, text, and poetry by myself. GFSmith cover, uncoated 120gsm stock throughout, 205x287mm, 124 pages.
