The design of the cover suggests that the content of the prospectus remains hidden until the reader physically rips the perforations on the edge, and opens up the package. This sealed cover serves a double purpose, as it is also acts as the postal envelope.

The subtly embossed cover contains the company’s details company’s details.  Neuzeit and Akkurat Mono fonts are also in the publication. Relevant vector illustrations help break the content. The paper stocks used were Flora Tobacco for the cover and Avebury Recycled Wove for the inside pages.

This showcase was originally published in Computer Arts issue 206.
