And we call it . . .


It's time to start considering what we're going to title this project of ours. The overall series of books needs a title, and it should draw from within our manifesto/statement. It would be great to hear from Sarah about what some options would be for the slip case. Like what kind of material might be on the exterior and if it will have a surface that can be printed on.

Don't forget, three of us are in letterpress and depending on what the materials of the slip case are we might be able to have it letter press printed or embossed. Will the case be wrapped in some book cloth? How about some sort of coated paper that has a satin finish to it?

Here's my stab at a series title:

  • Shockoe Decode - eight views on a neighborhood's visual culture
  • Eight Ways to Sunday - looking at visual culture and context
  • Neighborhood Watch - observing and recording visual culture
That's all I have for now but if I think of any more I'll edit this post. Let's hear from everyone, some suggestions?

I think Shockoe Decode is a good option. That title applies best to want each of us individual are doing. Plus it rhymes.
