At the end of 2017 the employees of the museum of the history of Vyksa Steel Works (VSW) asked us for help with publishing of a book about outstanding people of Vyksa region.
The book includes articles about 110 Vyksa residents, who are the heroes of a project called "Your Name Is Forever With Me". In the book, there is a collection of biographies of those who made a significant contribution to the development of Vyksa region, its industries, culture and sport.
The project was initiated by the museum of the history of VSW in 2015 and is carried out with the assistance of OMK and the media of Vyksa. From 2015 to 2017 29,315 residents participated in the project by voting for worthy candidates.

Our agency was responsible for editing, proofreading, design, page planning, selecting photos and creating illustrations. Our work with 344 pages of the book lasted for 11 months (from February to December, 2018). We gathered contextual information in the form of facts and stories connected with lives of the people. They accompany the main biographic material in the margins.
The title pages of articles about people who did not have portraits or photos were illustrated with drawings.
It is the first time when such a number of unique facts about people who glorified the town and VSW was collected. The project united a large number of experts and Vyksa residents who showed their interest in the book.
