The book acts as a commemoration of the former first lady’s visit to Swansea University, an exploration of her Welsh roots, and a journey through the rich history of Swansea University. The design needed to communicate prestige and heritage, whilst creating something that could be kept as a token of this historical event.

By creating a hard cover slip case for the book, we gave it importance and status that was enhanced by the elegance and sophistication of the maroon foiling applied to the coat of arms. It also had the added bonus of giving the book longevity, making it perfect as a keepsake to remember the event. 

In addition to the VIP book, we printed 5000 copies without a slip case as a keepsake for the prospective students that visited the open day on the same day as the congregation, involving everyone in this momentous event.
