Why Coffee Table Book Design Requires a Structured Approach
Unlike brochures or presentations, coffee table books involve large volumes of content and imagery. Without a clear narrative and structure, even well-produced books can feel disjointed or confusing.
Common challenges organisations face while creating coffee table books include:
Large amounts of unstructured historical content
Inconsistent photographs and visual styles collected over years
Lack of a clear storyline or chapter flow
Difficulty balancing text, visuals, and white space
Publications that look visually impressive but lack coherence
A structured approach ensures the book communicates meaning, not just aesthetics.
