Rubileo is designed to illustrate the campy classicism of the birthday party of an American Singer/ Songwriter, in the beautiful wine region of Italy. Hand drawn typography, bespoke illustration and custom collage bring the book to life, with the use of bold neons to accent the raw, reportage photographic style. The cover is a striking expression of the contemporary colliding with classicism through the use of custom foil blocking, and a textured, hand-stitched open spine.   

 

Capturing their hedonistic journey through vineyards and palazzos, we tell the story of one amazing day of festivities as the revelers carouse their way through a guided tour of St Francis of Assisi, a pool party, and an elaborate evening drag show, all to the sounds of their personal traveling DJ who accompanies them pretty much everywhere. Goldie, the gigantic blow-up unicorn plays a lead role in the narrative, and sets the tone for our design concept as she floats regally, and in juxtaposition to, her classic surroundings.
