One of the reasons I love working on publications projects for the Carriage Association is that, when they come back from the printer, I can hold the finished project in my hands. And speaking of publications projects … much of my summer this year was taken up with the design and layout of the CAA’s newly re-envisioned and completely redesigned World on Wheels journal. From 2009 through 2011, we’d published a small (6×9 inches), black-and-white journal containing longer articles than we can typically feature in The Carriage Journal. Many of these were printed versions of lectures given at the International Carriage Symposia that the CAA hosts every other winter, with the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation.

The content (long, in-depth articles, taken from symposium lectures) hasn’t changed much, but everything else has. In re-envisioning the World on Wheels, we decided to publish it every other year instead of annually but to make it bigger, longer, and much, much more colorful.

As you’ve probably guessed by now, we’ve received our copies of this year’s World on Wheels from the printer. And, if I do say so myself, it’s gorgeous!!
