The Best of Nest

I assisted in the book design and production of The Best of Nest by Todd Oldham, a 300+ page book celebrating the best of Nest magazine, published by Phaidon Press.

The book is a compilation of spreads, pages, and stories copied and pasted directly from Nest magazine, with the addition of a special commentary section by the creator, Joseph Holtzman. Each issue of the magazine contained its own unique print feature and diecut. I worked on translating each page precisely from each issue into the book, which included recreating and reconstructing diecuts, patterns, and certain special print effects. The body of the book stays true to the original graphics from the magazine with the only extra design elements being page numbers and issue numbers. However, I additionally designed and laid out the table of contents, the front introduction essay by Todd Oldham, the commentary by Joseph Holtzman,  the additional essays section,  the end pages and credits all to fit within the magazine’s world.
