Regular followers of this blog will know that my first post of every month is a "job from the past" so that I can show some of the really good work from years gone by and this publication is from the noughties.
The Chase - 2004
From humble beginnings in a Manchester suburb, the Chase began with the ambition of providing a level of creativity that challenged the dominant London design groups. Now 34 years on, they are one of the most
awarded creative consultancies in the world. Ben Casey (co-founder) still oversees The Chase and is also Professor at the University of Central Lancashire.
This newspaper style format is a large finished size at 420x310mm and is a 12pp self cover, saddle stitched.

It is printed Offset Litho on our Redeem 100% Recycled 100gsm which is has a neutral white shade which gives the publication a 'newspaper' feel which really suits the editorial work that is being shown and which prints amazingly, as I hope these images show...
This publication was produced around the time that Harriet Devoy left
Johnson Banks to join The Chase and set up the new London office. Since running the London office, Harriet joined Apple and was D&AD president last year.
Below image shows the way the 12pp text sits nice and flat...
The publication isn't as light as a newspaper but it flows freely in the hand.
Design is by The Chase. I think it was printed by the New Leaf Press in Manchester, who have since closed.
