| DESIGN NAME: Discovering Vienna PRIMARY FUNCTION: Historical Coffee Table Book INSPIRATION: The design of the book was inspired by vintage typography in the late 1800s combined with decorative lines and border frames implemented in historical and photography books and vintage maps from the early 1700s. The body text was minimal to allow the visuals and accompanying captions to have greater impact. The research was very difficult for this book since many of its resources were discovered in various libraries and archives around the world. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This unique book provides a visual history of the two primary families who settled in and ultimately founded the City of Vienna in West Virginia in the late 1700s. The book is filled with historical documents, maps, and other artifacts that provide context to the actions of both families in light of events in the American colonies and Europe at this time. The ancestry of both families is also documented, tracing their roots back to the English monarchy and Viking warriors. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The client provided feedback on the content outline for the publication. The author and designer had full authority over the content, art direction and design of the book. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: Project started in June 2022 and was published in May 2023 FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: This project is unique because Christina Ullman completed the research for the book, wrote the content and produced the design. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 10"x10" Hardcover Book TAGS: historical book, visual history, Vienna, Briscoe, Spencer, colonists, American colony, Virginia, West Virginia RESEARCH ABSTRACT: This book is the first of its kind on the topic of the history and heritage of the founders of the City of Vienna. While other books have described early life in the area, none have traced the ancestry nor documented the early lives of its founders: Dr. John Briscoe IV and Dr. Joseph Spencer, Jr. CHALLENGE: Locating historical documents and validating the accuracy of events was a challenge since many of the materials were located in historical society and library archives around the world. Other books provided some assistance with events and facts, but primary sources were key.

NAME: Ullman Design PROFILE: Ullman Design is a studio. Not a firm. Not an agency. As a result, we see things a bit differently. We work a bit differently. We believe design is not a beauty contest, but a process of discovery to find the best approach to deliver a message. Ullman Design is a creative studio that integrates disciplines to develop comprehensive solutions. Our team members have varied talents that allow us to converge art with design; images with narrative; marketing with communication; interactive with branding. The result: Work that is innovative, aesthetically pleasing, and practical, as well as functional and informative. The convergence of our capabilities in visual communication, brand development, illustration and interactive media is the spark that fuels our creative energy. We believe design is about more than just a look. It is a voice—a message that resonates to the reader. It is about creating an organizational balance that guides an audience through content. It is a unique combination of visuals with text in a design that creates a unique, engaging narrative, capturing a sense of place, telling a story the audience can relate to on many levels. Capturing this voice means taking time to listen and to understand our clients’ needs and translate them into solutions that exceed expectations. |
