Not much else to say in this intro but “Enjoy”.

Part 1: Jan - Jun
12 — Elise Nicole Liebold Birth Announcement
Who knew? I love swirly pink, letterpresses typography. Then again, this is great use of one color and sophisticated decoration.
11 — Ferocious Quarterly No. 3
A patch may become the de rigueur item in 2013 so get your embroidery on, people. However, excellent 2-color printing will always be timeless.
10 — Leo Burnett Dept. of Design Booklet
Super bright yellow might not be most readable type or background but, damn, does it look hot!
9 — Vavohu
720 unique laser-etched business cards turned into a moody stop-motion animation make this Old Testament-inspired project worth heeding.
It’s hard to describe all that’s going on here. I just know that all these chocolate-colored materials look delicious.
7 — Measure, Inc. U&ME Referral Cards
Great combo of hot pink and subtle gray letterpressed colors to flirt with Measure’s friends’ friends.
If this project turns you on, then you might be better served by not touching it because it might give you away as the black varnish will disappear when heat is applied to it.
Sometimes it’s not about overdesigning or overpackaging: let the product do the talking. And these simple print packs from Tattly with gorgeous product shots on one of my favorite stocks ever — Mohawk Navajo — just want to make you rub them on as much as the temporary tattoos they carry.
4 — Bordo Bello Ouija Skateboard
We rarely publish one-off projects since we prefer to focus on the “mass” production challenges of printing. BUT, when something looks this awesome how can you resist? Plus, how many engraved ouija boards have you seen?
3 — Rider Dickerson Promotional Piece
It’s hard to appreciate the richness and complexity of this piece through pictures alone. Having played with one IRL I can attest to how rich and complex this is.
2 — Bunches & Bunches Snaps Packaging
You can literally feel the sculpted emboss popping out of the screen on this one and the full-on yellow background pairs so well with the letterpress label.
1 — Misomber Nuan Look Book IV
Black. Black. Black. And then some more black. Inside. Outside. And in between. I just love the mysterious presence this book has, and, OMG, I so want one. The paint-lathered cover looks like something you would never want to let go.
