A Memoirs: "Catch me if you can!"


At Plantain we craft bespoke family history books and memoirs.

When Jennifer Holder-Dolly approached us to work on her husband's story, our goal was to convey the commitment they have to their profession, and in translating Franklyn's passion for life into print. If you are ever to hear him speak, you'll understand the zeal with which he expresses himself: dialogue is regularly interspersed with fist thumping, clapping, pounding, and a whole host of exclamations...

We thus employed stylistic devices to convey his exuberance — both through text, as well as through some rather unique design choices:

1. A selection of interesting colours: a rich green (Frankie's favourite colour) and the rather hot rubine red(!) to get across his energy.
2. Fonts we felt best represent the Dollys: a balanced Palatino accentuated by the playful Betta.
3. A paper (Digital Design Brite White) that would create an almost interactive reading experience...

It was a real pleasure working on a story filled with boundless heart and humour, and we thank Jennifer, Franklyn, and their family and friends for allowing us to help them document their legacy; one that they continue to build.
