Skate and Destroy: The First 25 Years of Thrasher Magazine
For their silver anniversary coffee table book, Dan was given the task of scanning old magazine layouts and compiling archival photos alongside editor in chief, Jake Phelps. The challenge then was to find a way to digest 300 issues worth of material into 288 pages, with additional content of never before seen photos, outtakes, and stories from the pros. They came up with a running timeline/collage of old layouts that ran throughout the bottom fifth of the spreads and stylized sidebars to highlight the interviews.
