Farm Life
Book design for a collection of farm animal portraits by photographer Randal Ford.
The shaggy Highland Cow featured on the cover of Farm Life brings the series around full circle to the legendary cows he photographed for Pentagram Austin's redesign of Dairy Today magazine in 2008.
Like the two previous volumes, the careful juxtaposition and pairings of single page and full-spread portraits complement one another, and the farm animals featured in the book are identified by their names.
To top off the book's agrarian attitude, the hardcase of the book, clad in a "Barn Red" cloth, is blind embossed with a weathervane "F" icon based on one at the Ford family farm.
