At Jenkins Group, we specialize in bringing bold creative visions to life, and Tyler Leipprandt’s project was one of the most thrilling we’ve had the pleasure of working on. As a Michigan-based photographer known for his jaw-dropping, viral photos, Tyler wanted to capture his wildest adventures in a coffee table book titled MIconic. From hanging off the Mackinac Bridge to snapping stealth bombers in action, his manuscript was packed with epic moments. We were excited to help Tyler take the next leap—from the camera lens to the coffee table.

A Visual Journey: Bringing the Book to Life
We dove into pre-press production with the goal of making MIconic as daring and visually captivating as Tyler’s adventures. Our team designed a bold cover that captures his fearless approach to photography, while every page was meticulously designed to highlight his work and draw readers into his stories. Balancing vibrant imagery with engaging text, we crafted a layout that allowed the book to flow seamlessly, immersing readers in Tyler’s journey. We also ensured all the necessary legal registrations were completed, giving Tyler the peace of mind that his work was protected. With careful proofreading, we polished the text so that nothing distracted from the book’s stunning visuals.

High-Quality Printing for a High-Impact Book
Once the design was set, we moved into printing and binding, producing 1,500 high-quality copies of MIconic that met our exacting standards for durability and elegance. To add an extra layer of sophistication, we created 150 custom dust jackets, ensuring each copy would be a perfect addition to any coffee table.

But the excitement didn’t stop with the final product. Tyler’s book release was as extraordinary as the photos themselves! In true Leipprandt fashion, he went all out for his launch—from skydiving to celebrate his book’s debut to presenting it while on the back of an MC-130J aircraft. It was a release as epic as the photos inside.
