Project Description
Adjective Art & Framing is a contemporary framing shop run by photographer and artist, Alex D. Jacobson (A.D.J.). A play on the owner's initials, and the transformative abilities of top-notch presentation, the Adjective identity design incorporates an "abbreviated" logo mark, with a graphic element reflective of the geometry of picture frames. A small, triangular corner motif also hints at turnover and the discovery of the framer's custom stamp on the back of each finished piece. The type choice (Bodoni) and card printing method (letterpress) strike a perfect balance between classic heritage and modern precision - a nod to the framer's craft.Production Lesson(s)
As a designer new to letterpress, each project is full of tips and lessons for me to carry forward. Mike Dacey of Repeat Press is a proper craftsman and more than happy to share information and suggestions to bring out the best in whatever goes on press. Ink coverage continues to surprise me - the black on this card came out looking soft dark grey... very attractive, but a nuance to be considered when selecting colors for future projects.
