Peoria is a city full of hidden gems, especially in history and arts. From historic buildings to sculptures scattered throughout the city, there really is a lot to see. Arts Partners, a not-for-profit organization in the Peoria area, wanted to produce a self-tour guide book that people can use to find these hidden gems around the city and also to be able to learn more about each artwork and artist.

The true challenge of this project was the budget. The photos I received were low-res snapshots at best. However, my charge was to make this piece look high-end, and to really make each art work look beautiful. It took a good amount of creative use of photoshop to say the least.

The slim proportion of the book makes it easy to stuff the book in your back pocket to make the walks easier. It's also a nice size to hold in one hand.
