“United Revolución" is a visual documentary book by Leeds United supporter and photographer Justin Slee, featuring photography from 2018 to 2020 showcasing various aspects of Leeds United. The book captures the energy and passion of fans as the team successfully rose back to the Premier League under Marcelo Bielsa's guidance. It includes Leeds United-themed essays, memories, and quotes from fans, aiming to uplift supporters missing the community aspect of football due to the pandemic. The release of ‘United Revolución’ seeks to reaffirm the love and unique bond Leeds United supporters share.
The project's specifications and finish were simple yet elegant, complementing the visual styling of the overall book. The limited edition comprised 500 copies, with 184 pages measuring 170mm x 240mm. The book was full-colour throughout, printed onto 130gsm silk for the text section and 350gsm uncoated for the cover. Additionally, foil and debossing were added to the cover, and the book featured a PUR-bound finish. We worked closely with Saul Studio to deliver a masterpiece that met and exceeded Justin Slee’s expectations. It was a great feeling to know how unique the book was to everyone involved in the project.
"Leeds Art Map" is a printed guide dedicated to visual arts organisations in Leeds, UK. It includes galleries, shops, and studio spaces. Saul Studio handled the design, and Jump managed the print production. Both editions were printed on 100gsm uncoated FSC® material with a map fold finish. The first edition consisted of 20,000 copies printed in fluorescent pink and dark grey spot colours. The second edition, which required 18,000 copies, included an aquamarine spot colour in addition to dark grey and is featured in over 40 venues in and around the city. The map is part of Leeds Art Ltd, a not-for-profit company that promotes visual and contemporary arts through charity-led events, publications, and digital resources.
The first 2019–20 edition of Leeds Art Map was a delight to receive back from print, as it was designed as a bold and punchy 2-colour Pantone job, featuring fluorescent pink and grey inks, with delicate tone work too. Some of our projects require short turnaround times, and Jump never fails to deliver the project in any less than a timely manner. We look forward to working with Graham and all the team at Jump on our new and upcoming projects.
