“THE WAIT” - 2016 CUBS CHAMPIONSHIP INTERACTIVE BOOK (SPEC)

This book is about the 108 years between Cubs championships.

It highlights the many things that changed between 1908 and 2016, and one thing that didn’t — fans’ love for the Cubs.

We designed this book with interactive features, unlike any book you’re likely to see.

The cover features an augmented reality “W” flag that would animate when viewed through your smartphone.

Select pages would be printed with dimensional inks, spot varnishes, and scented inks to make the graphics super realistic and help bring the book to life.
