Somedays I wish I lived in some sort of museum space, one where the walls seem to be endless and the availability for poster-hanging was ongoing. This is one poster that could very well hang in my office, as a friendly reminder of when I should or should not be working.
We’ve always wanted to design and print a poster. There’s something beautiful about letterpress printing a large format piece on thick cotton paper that adds a really awesome element of depth. Divisionof/ and Dolce Press have been collaborating for a long time and the topic of glow-in-the-dark came up one day. It’s not very often we get to use glow-in-the-dark ink because it’s expensive and not as available. So we decided to create a piece around that, something that can make people feel good at all times of the day. Put it somewhere with some direct light and turn the lights off, let your eyes adjust and enjoy.
