The cover of The Making of Fantastic Mr. Fox, designed by Pentagram.

An example of one of hundreds of images that I cleaned up and standardized for the book.

Just another example of an image silhouetting process, this time ducks.

This puppet armature and notes was one of the more challenging images to clean up.

The Making of Fantastic Mr. Fox was published by Rizzoli, designed by the good people at Pentagram, and I was brought on to process through hundreds of images that needed to be cleaned up, digitally cut out, optimized and standardized. Silhouetting objects so that they were cleanly resting on pristine white backgrounds with subtle shadows was one of the jobs. There was also a lot of photo retouching and removal of obtrusive graphics and jpg artifacts, as well as cleaning up the presentation of production drawings and scripts. I was very excited to work on the book because I love the work of Roald Dahl and Wes Anderson, and obviously I love animation, cartoons and drawings. And books. And design.
