Project Description
The purpose of lockstep studio's new year card was, as you might have guessed, to wish the receiver of the card a happy new year! and of course to promote our newly founded lockstep studio to companies and organizations whose work we admire and with whom we would like to collaborate.The visual concept, namely the straight-lined lettering of "happy new year," was developed in such a way to mirror the style of the lockstep studio logo. we thought the style of the lettering lent itself very well to the linocut printing process.
Production Lesson(s)
A great-looking piece of design can be produced with just a few supplies, a little ingenuity and resourcefulness. I don't think designers often consider linocut as a viable production method, but it really is a simple technique, and produces rich, robust and unique results, especially with one-color, hard-edged design. we cut the linoleum block 2up, so we were able to print two cards at a time, which means it wasn't a terribly time-consuming endeavor either.
