There is something in the color palette and the textures in this identity that make me want to touch every letterpressed ridge and dot possible. That, or work for this lawyer so that I can get a card with my own name on it.

Project Description

Authentic, genuine, and forthright. The Law Office of Matthew Messina embodies traditional values that provide the best legal services possible with an emphasis on estate planning, trusts, wills, contracts and family law.  With a direct client's relationship, Matthew Messina works with each client through direct correspondence and personal contact. This necessitated a tactile method of correspondence that imbues the integrity, genuine nature, and customized experience of Matthew Messina.

Production Lesson(s)

The registration on the fine lines proved to be very challenging. The nature of letterpress is that the artwork will expand as it is impressed into the paper. With such fine line and attention to detail, registration and alignment became the greatest challenge. ”
