Designing my Dream Coffee Table Book ... A series established on my art instagram @gabis_gallery.

Coffee-table books: let’s talk about them. A table’s favorite accessory that serves as a conversation starter, an educational resource, or provides a sneak peek into our interests, desires, reflections, and inspirations. From art and photography to travel and history, these books encourage exploration and spark connections. A curated collection of stunning visuals, thoughtful design, and inspiring content that add a touch of sophistication and personality to any and every space. Coffee-table books are more than just décor. They are a testament to the power of visual storytelling, and I want to share that with you.

This book will serve as a collection of my film photography and added bits. From doodles, illustrations, and collages to random thoughts, words and quotes this book will bound all of my creative passions. I will walk through the process of page design and different pieces that contribute to successful publication design. I want to document this creative journey until I have a finished product to share with the world.

While this remains a work in progress, I wanted to share my creative journey. I want to make this a collaborative piece as well. So I would love to hear what you would like to see within this book: whether illustrations of specific topics, people, places & things or certain subject matter in the photography portion.

Don’t be shy and please share in the captions!
