Good Friday: Pieces
This week the book has been all about pieces. Every photo needs a grant of rights form that gives us permission to publish it. Most we have, some we’re missing. Some photos are too low res to print, so we’re asking for new ones or (more likely) just shooing the work ourselves. There are captions to write (lots of captions to write) and essays from contributors to secure. So, we’re gathering up all those little pieces.
For the first few hours of every day I email, call and IM people, gently hounding them for their work, words or paperwork. I’m sure I’ve become a nuisance, but in the process I’ve become friends with many of the contributors. PIctured above: my Good Design Book to-do list for the week.
If you’re wondering, it’s totally crumpled because my one-year-old got his hands on it for about 10 seconds.
