The new 12² is wrapped in thick, durable kraft paper sleeve that lasts many years. It is our favorite photobook, redesigned:
The new sleeve has an aperture that allows you to quickly skim the headline without taking the photobook out. Use the bundled index sheet to find a particular photograph.
Photographs and Glossy paper go together, but you may take an alternative and use uncoated sheets in your 12². They glare less and look more subdued yet sophisticated.
Send a photobook to your dearest. Fill in his or her address instead of yours upon checkout, and we’ll wrap it in gift packaging upon your discretion — with a NT$ 39 surcharge.
The gift wrapping is entirely green — soy ink, acid-free paper.
36: the number of frames in a roll of 35-mm film — or the number of photographs that we want every single 12² to carry. As digital designers and avid film photographers, we wanted to love film and digital photography equally much. The 12² ends up being a happy blend.
12² photobooks, printed by a digital press which uses process colors (read: cyan, magenta, yellow and black), have bookstore-grade caliber. Their pages are hand-sewn and we inspect every single copy. We’ve also revised the process making new copies of 12² so they now look better than ever.
Our on-line editor — hypoDot — is designed with simplicity in mind. Dragging and dropping are all you need to know to make quality photobooks.
hypoDot talks with flickr and pulls images from your photostream to the editor automatically. We also provide hypoDot Silo, a temporary repository service that holds up to 40 uncompressed images for 2 weeks. Start arranging, annotating, and editing your photographs on-the-fly today, or take a test drive.
Think of 12² as a versatile storyboard. Or a fond keeper of memories which fits in your pocket and follows you everywhere. Point your lens at something beautiful, intriguing yet undiscovered, get photographs, then spend an afternoon with hypoDot… We’ll do the rest.
