This was the very first book publication I've done for Brunei market, back in 2004. A bloody work and sleepless nights that was really a learning experience for us. My wife did some right-ups and interview while she was pregnant with our first son and i did the photography aside from designing and layouting the whole 300+ pages book. It took us 6 months to finish including client's revisions and requests.
Recently, I was asked to give a quotation for another book design on which a company won by tender. Upon doing plenty of publications for Brunei, I've learned my lesson. It was a very nice feeling that i didn't get the job... haha! They were afraid of my charges i guess. Well, it was a long story and very much confidential. I wonder if they've found a designer-in-cheap (did i say cheap?) who'll work for them for 2 months rush inside their premise with 2 very slow PCs and smoking area environment.
