Champion Paper’s Imagination 26 is a visual vocabulary of the word “white,” and examines its multiple meanings.
This award-winning minimalist publication explores the multiplicity of printing and finishing techniques within a conceptual framework. As a visual story, it utilizes the power of positive and negative space to create dynamic tension on the page. Odgis + Co handled the conceptualization, creative direction and production of this three-dimensional publication. Each page uses a unique paper weight and demonstrates the ways it can be designed to make printed work more dynamic and compelling.
