SMart Book 2013, Stockland Martel’s latest photo annual, wins a silver at the Creativity International Awards

We are honored to have been awarded a silver in the “Publications: Book Design” category at the 43rd annual Creativity International Awards for SMart Book 2013, our latest limited-edition book showcasing the photographers we represent.

The design and copy concept for the book changes every year. For SMart Book 2013, we asked our photographers to turn the camera on themselves and create a self-portrait. We didn’t set any aesthetic rules—they were free to shoot horizontal or vertical, to opt for color or black & white, and even to not show their face. But we did establish one important mandate: They had to create a self-portrait that reflected their photographic style.

Production of the book, from concept to shipping, is a six- month process that includes our going on press in Germany, at GZD Designpress, our longtime printer. The design is by New York City–based Design: MW, who have made so many of our previous SMart Books look stunning. The front and back covers feature portraits of Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese by Art Streiber.

SMart Book 2013 was sent only to select clients but can also be viewed online at issuu.com.
