Project Description
Be creative in 2015 following every month words of wisdom of the Mr Cup creative manifesto letterpress calendar. Limited to 500 copies, it is composed of 13 cards printed on 700g french paper. Each of the 20 × 14 cm card has its own color, referring to the season. It is a hand numbered limited edition.The first 100 copies have front cover printed with glow in the dark ink, and it comes with painting edges, each month card has the edge painted in its color!
For this year edition, I ask graphic designer, typographer and calligrapher to create unique font work.
Production Lesson(s)
Trying the "glow in the dark" ink for the first time.
