Project Description

This is the stationery design for N. Daniels, a rep and photo producer in Vienna. It's simple, cool and thermo-sensitive. The black color of the varnish fades at body temperature — as soon as you hold it in your hands you literally produce an image by yourself. It's a dynamic and living design — the business cards are little Polaroids with a constantly changing surface.

Production Lesson(s)

It was a very stretching project from beginning to the end, because the printer didn't have any experience with thermo-sensitive varnish on stationery applications. We had to experiment with materials and temperature. In the end it was worth it and we are very satisfied with the outcome.
