Revenue generator guide for The Forbidden City

Our brief

The Forbidden City publishing house loved our PopOut format and wanted us to create a PopOut tourist guide to The Palace Museum to sell in The Forbidden City bookshop.

Solution

Using the publishing houses’ huge archive of content and photography we designed, curated and printed a 32-page guide to the history of the palace and collections within the museum. We also created a bespoke PopOut map of the Forbidden City complex with suggested walking routes for tourists.

  • Front & back covers
  • 2 inside facing covers
  • 1 inside cover
  • 1 booklet – typically 8-40 pages
