Project Description
This birth announcement takes family and friends on an intergalactic space journey while introducing little Oliver to the world. Playful illustrations, vibrant typography and carefully selected accents play nice with each other and were letterpress printed to complete a one-of-a-kind birth announcement experience.Production Lesson(s)
You’re more likely to achieve a deep impression with a 100% cotton paper such as Crane’s Lettra paper because it’s so soft. If your design has a lot of small type, request printed samples with small type to see how well the printer can hold the legibility of small type. Another issue you may encounter with small type is how well the printer can hold small type that is being knocked of out solid areas of ink. Sometimes plugging may occur resulting in unreadable type.
