IPv6,
by the book.
A technical manual for the Communications Regulatory Authority of Qatar and Carnegie Mellon University Qatar — bridging research and implementation for safe and secure IPv6 deployment in Qatar.
The brief
CRA and CMU-Q's joint research into safe IPv6 deployment in Qatar produced the source material; our job was to make it land as a manual an engineering team could actually open on a Monday morning and use.
The cover leans into the technical subject (a circuit-board network threading across the surface) while the interior is pragmatic: clear hierarchy, side-notes for glossary, colour-coded warnings, and code blocks that survive print.
How we worked
01 — Audience, not ornament
The reader is a network engineer or policy advisor — design serves scanning speed, not decoration.
02 — Cover language
A circuit-board motif that reads as "secure network" without a stock-photo padlock.
03 — Technical typography
Monospace code treatments, clear glossary callouts, warning badges. Every figure has a source line and a reference ID.
04 — Print-plus-web
Manuals like this live on a desk and in a drawer for years — designed to be durable at scale and legible when printed on a ministry's office printer.
The cloud, for small business.
