Book Description

Automotive Art Volume One is the first book by award winning Artist and Image Maker Bill Pack.People who love automobiles know, a car is never just a car. It's a vessel for story. A sense-memory of an era long past in leather and metal that begins with a designer's vision, and continues as the vehicle is imprinted with the narrative of its owner and its passage through time and terrain. "Painting with Light" offers car enthusiasts (and anyone who loves design) a way to capture the beauty, essence and sentiment of their favorite make, model or memory.Automotive Art Volume One is the exploration of Bill's unique style of lighting and design with rare and classic cars. The book has been designed to showcase the rich, black high-contrast images through the use of the 12"x12" square format that lends itself to wide dramatic images as they expand across the spread. The full-page crops accentuate each image's beauty, emotion, and detail.The pagination flow of single and double page images has been intentional to maintain the reader's interest while exploring the book. Bare white pages are used as a visual respite from the various spread images and also to highlight single-page images. White borders are interspersed in the layout to add a luxurious feel and more visual variety.The hardcover 172 page book is sewn-bound with an exposed spine that reflects and highlights the craftsmanship and stitching details of classic cars. This sewn binding allows the book to lay perfectly flat for the best viewing of the images and layout.Covers have a tactile quality with debossed detailing that adds to the luxurious lay flat handling experience. A limited quantity of books has a leather-wrapped slipcase that also features the debossed detailing matching the book's covers.
