In the Spotlight
Elvis Box
Chronicle Books

An emblem of the 20th century, Elvis, and his legacy, remain imprinted on American culture at-large. To this end, Chronicle Books has designed a multi-faceted project that goes well beyond the realm of Book Publishing 101. The box features carefully reproduced printed collateral and retrospective pages, including completely detachable official fan club member card, pay stub, Presley family portrait, third grade report card, autographed head shot, vintage Christmas card, auto insurance form, job application, concert poster, trading cards, paycheck, press releases and portrait from the 1950s. The box and its elements are designed to simulate a vintage collection of rare memorabilia using paper and ink products that stand the test of time. The use of heavy coated papers and durable inks represent an important consideration that many designers must make: how to achieve authentic style, while meeting demands of longevity.
