Greeting Cards
a Big Hit
A fun promotion designed as a gift for clients is turning up in odd
places. Nigel Harvey, the proprietor of BANNERLINE's principal printer, Pacific Printing
and Graphics, took six Patricia Bannerman photographic images and created text-free
greeting cards. Since then, various gift shops (including the Whistler Museum at the
famous B.C. resort) have sold them, and a U.K. associate enterprisingly auctioned them on
E-Bay.

BANNERLINE Publications
| SERVICES
PROVIDED |
 BANNERLINE has published everything from simple brochures to coffee table
books for a broad range of clients. The preponderance of the business consists of
newsletters, annual reports, brochures, strategic plans, limited edition art and
promotional items.
Services include any or all of research, writing, photography, illustration, design,
budget management, production and distribution. BANNERLINE is
a publisher, unlike firms and consultants engaged in just one or more of the component
project parts: planning, budgeting, project structure, research, writing, illustration,
design, printing, binding and distribution.
The key to both quality and economy in publications is planning and
structure resembling preparations for a motion picture shoot. Specific assignments and
functions are very narrowly defined to ensure that expensive talent can make appropriate
contributions in a minimum of time.
Each project resembles a bucket brigade. The management challenge is to
ensure that each bucket gets passed at the appropriate time. Deadlines must be absolute,
not just for the finished publication,
 but for each piece of the project.
BANNERLINE
works with several different printers during the course
of each year, but the principal
strategic partner is Nigel Harvey
of Pacific Western Print Group. |
| BOOKS
|
| Most of the books itemized below were
standard author relationships with third-party publishers. The two coffee table books (Ships
of British Columbia, and Collingwood School) were commissioned by the subject
corporations, in association with BANNERLINE and Hancock House Publishers. It should also be noted that these titles are all out-of-print
and out of date, but may be of historical value. Interested parties should consult their
public libraries and used book networks. |
