To mark ten years of All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend, AURORA has curated a companion book built from early notebooks, sketches and lyrics.
It captures her journey of learning to accept her inner “demons” rather than fear them.

She calls it: “a snapshot of everything that went on in my heart, my mind, and my body around the time I wrote my first album.”

For production, that kind of content sets the tone. The book has to feel authentic.
We’ve shared the full case study behind the making of this title.

Paper has a 75% recycling rate in Europe, the highest of any material
Yet, 35% of European consumers still believe paper and paper packaging are bad for the environment

So le's spread the word about what paper really is: sustainable, creative and very much part of the future. 🌍✨

A box is never just a box. 📦

In print, publishing, and product design, the box is often the very first interaction someone has with your product.

The weight, the opening, the texture, the reveal… all of it shapes perception before the content is even seen. Rigid telescopic boxes and hinged collector’s editions to slipcases, mailer boxes, and matchbox-style formats, each structure serves a purpose, protection and a storytelling.

In our latest blog post, we break down the most common box types we produce, explain when and why to use them, and share practical insights to help you choose the right structure for your next project.

Whether you’re designing a premium board game, a special edition book set, or a branded gift box, this guide is a useful reference for anyone working with printed packaging.

We’re feeling proud at Imago today! The Rocks Book by Nancy Dickmann has been shortlisted for the 2025 The Young People’s Book Prize.

This book takes the reader on a quest around the globe, examining the huge range of rocks that lie beneath our feet. With help from specialist consultants, it was carefully researched and packed it with facts and curiosities.

Our in-house team was involved in every detail:
Artwork management, editorial, design, picture research, project management, right through to briefing artists and working closely with the author and clients.

A huge congratulations to Nancy and to everyone who put their heart into this project. 💛
