George Balanchine is one of the most notable figures in the history of modern ballet, co-founding the New York City Ballet in 1948. This book design reimagines a historic book on the choreographer, using its original imagery but updating its voice for a contemporary audience. The book's outer materials, wood on the cover and pale pink satin ribbon closures, highlight the ways in which these components are used throughout the history of ballet in dance floors, stages, and the very shoes that ballerinas dance in.
