Lead Image

I’m always a little jealous when someone else has a nice design with my initials. Daniel Renda pulled off this splendidly simple design and made it eye catching with a distinctive, bold color palette. And by the way, someone needs to jump on the market for edge painting technique advice. Is this really a secret designers and printers cannot afford to share?

Project Description

I wanted to create an identity system that was clean and simple but still eye-catching.

Production Lesson(s)

One of the most valuable lessons I learned was to get your paper professionally trimmed before you print. It just makes life so much easier when everything is straight and square to begin with.

The edge painting was definitely the biggest challenge. I quickly learned that no one wants to share their edge painting techniques so I had to just go for it and hope for the best.”
