The Award
Winning Book

We had a real-estate firm ask us to do a book for them – a high-end collateral they could share with potential clients. This was early on for us, so we hadn’t really made a name for ourselves, yet, but we saw this as a great opportunity to get our work out into the world and show what we could do.

The Challenge

Being such a great opportunity, we were meticulous when putting this book together. We used all the tricks we had, incorporating specialized silvers, UV print designs on specific pages, making minute color-corrections on the press. You name it, we put it in this book, and it was worth it, because the final product looked amazing.

It turned out so great, we decided to enter it into a number of competitions for professional printers. We had no idea how it would fare, but we knew we were proud of what we’d put together and wanted to share it.

The Reward

That book went on to win just about every one of those competitions, earning “best of” awards in all types of categories. Our book won so many awards, other printers started getting mad, because all these big names in the industry kept losing out to this company that no one had ever heard of. 

The funny thing is the client never ended up using the books because of changes in the economy. As far as we know, they’re still in a closet somewhere, but it certainly put Texas Graphic Resource on everyone’s radar.
