What was the interactive process between Chronicle Books, Blue Sky and Charette?

PF: With any multi-studio project, everyone has to work very interactively. Everyone at Chronicle Books and Blue Sky Studios are such experienced professionals that it made my job that much easier. And I was aware our design concepts and layouts would be reviewed by quite a few very talented folks — and there is a lot riding on this book and film. But I have to say they really respected our expertise as book designers and took our design suggestions and recommendations seriously. They are very happy with the results. What about type and color? PF: We looked at many typefaces to fulfill the criteria — to be slightly retro futuristic but avoid cliche. We discovered that Eureka was perfect for text and Futura for display. There is incredible inspiration drawn from Dice Tsutsumi’s color callouts as well. We believe it is important for the design to support the artwork and story of the book. So we kept the elements subtle; just a little gear for the folio and this handsome type combination
