THE ADC YOUNG GUNS X IMPOSING “X” WILL BE ON THE SITE FOR 24 HOURS ONLY. WE ARE HAPPY TO BE THEIR MEDIA PARTNERS.
A stationery set makes so much more sense when it includes a pint glass labelled “Creativity Fluid”. Clearly the juices are flowing at W/S, where the motto “find happiness in your work” pours through every rich detail. I’m finding happiness in my work just writing about them!

Project Description
We love the functionality of communiqué. Everything serves a purpose. We collect old forms and manuals. We also love simplicity in design. We chose to design our new stationery system around the thought of simplistic process and meaningful functionality. We also wanted to bring in color in a unique way. Our custom Pantones were mixed to match our choices of French Paper's vibrant stock.Production Lesson(s)
Whenever you design for yourself, it's hard to stop. Any designer will attest to that. The trick is to stop while you've got something good. We hope that happened.
