Book presentation and signing session

At the Creative Cube open house on 22 November 2008 we will present the long awaited Waacs book.

Waacs celebrates its 15-year anniversary, refreshed with a new team, new identity and new focus. To celebrate this, looking back in the form of a portfolio book or ‘best of’ book would have made sense. Not to Waacs. We rather look forward. And if we make a book, it should also be useful or even helpful to its readers. It shouldn’t end up at a bookshelf; otherwise we would just have designed a couple of great book spines that would make your library look more impressive.

Coincidentally Spinhex & Industry —a high quality printer with a focus on designers— approached us to design a Waacs issue of their ‘Indruk’ publications and Watersportcamping Heeg, a campsite at the Frisian lakes in the North of Holland invited us to come and design 'camping stuff'. 23-25 May 2008 the campsite in Heeg was transformed into a test-, experiment and development center. We invited all our creative friends to join us. From photographers, visualizers, stylists, designers, writers, architects, innovation strategists, to design students: they all contributed and they are the co-creators of our book.

The book is filled with beautiful images, stories, designs, poetry etc. and reflects the way on how we at Waacs believe design should be done. In co-creation and with lot's of positive energy. The Waacs anniversary book is printed in a limited edition and is a true object of desire and a collector’s item. Come and get your personal copy signed by one of the co-creators during the signing session on November 22, 2008!
