Another time past created

by Brett Hilder. Pier 9, 2008.

A layered design recreates the intricate, collage nature of a journal, where words, quotes from philosophers, poets and authors, ponderings, experiences, travel observations and astonishing photographs of landscapes and people are interwoven.
This is a book of a journey showing the lands of Spanish culture in the Mediterranean and Latin America, made with notations of memory
Absolutely beautiful.

- Wendy
Update - From Pier 9's website: 'The winners of the 2009 Australian Publishers' Association Book Design Awards were announced as part of the Sydney Writers' Festival on Thursday 21st May. Another Time Past Created, designed by Toyoko Sugiwaka, won Best Designed General Illustrated Book and this beautiful, captivating book was also awarded Best Designed Book of the Year overall!'
