Marlin Network Shareholders Book: Summer 2013 & 2014

Each summer Marlin Network holds it’s annual shareholders meeting/hangout where shareholders receive their stock certificate for the year. The housing for said certificate was a company “yearbook” with a letter from the CEO, timeline/history of the company, client roster, and work samples from each network affiliate. Each work sample showcased the affiliate, a description of the work, the client, and an image that represented the main idea of the campaign.

The books were hard bound, cloth cover with debossed cover title and either metallic or gloss varnish for the spine title. Pages were scored to allow for pages to turn more easily and lay flat. While the page layouts remained similar and clean for consistency, the title/type style, patterns, and color theme of each book changed with the year to feature the predominate design style and Pantone color of the year.
