The following are mockups I created for executive approval using images of materials provided by the printer and in-house sample prints. Once production of the book is complete, real-life photography will be available here.
In May of 2024, Donald Ray Horton passed away. Having been D.R. Horton's beloved Founder, CEO and Executive Chairman of the Board, to say his passing was "a big deal" is an understatement. Donald, commonly known as Don or DR, absolutely loved what he did. He prided himself on helping millions of people and families achieve "the American Dream of homeownership," and referred to all of his employees, customers, and vendor partners as "the D.R. Horton family."
DR made a tremendous impact on so many people, which was solidified by the outpour of condolences and stories upon his passing. With hundreds of kind words and memories of DR stacking up, we decided to create a commemorative book for his family members, whom he loved deeper than words can describe.
I had the honor of working directly with the executives to bring such a special project to life. In just over a month's time, I had sifted through about 600 quotes, poured through every photo in our file system, designed a 212-page book, spent a lot of time with Brumley Printing, and finally, sent my work off for production.
I am happy to talk about the process of creating this book upon request.
