Return to Nature

Cover and Interior book design 

​

Return to Nature by The Outdoor Discovery Network in Holland, Michigan is a photo-centric gift book. The book commemorated the twentieth anniversary of the Outdoor Discovery Network. The Outdoor Discovery Network is a wonderful organization that seeks to advance outdoor education and conservation in West Michigan.

​

With this book, I had the privilege of working with some beautiful photography, taken by photographers: Travis Williams, the Outdoor Discovery staff, and other talented contributors. I also worked with text curated and written by talented editor, Bruce Buursma. My role was to determine the cover design, the interior layout and the typesetting. Through focus and teamwork, we produced this nature and education-inspired gift book within an approximate timespan of 60 days.
