Project Description
Design Life is a set of 8 coasters with inspirational sayings that relate to both design and everyday life. Each quote said by famous thinkers, designers, and even a top creative from Anthem, is beautifully illustrated with the designers unique interpretation. We hope they will serve (pun intended) as inspiration, reminders, or conversation starters; or perhaps all three!Creative Director:
Deborah Smith Read
Designers:
Meeta Panesar
Miri Chan
Maya Ostrander
Henry Lannan
Technical Design Director:
Daryl Buhrman
Production Lesson(s)
For the designers, this was our first letterpress project at Anthem. One of the challenges we faced was finding the right print vendor on a tight budget. Cranky Pressman was a great find, and they made our vision really come to life.
