Project Description
Personal identity for Pepper & Cinnamon. We believe in the intrinsic capacity of humans to be emphatically and emotionally engaged about great design solutions; or even the simplest of gestures that touch us in a very human way. We concoct. We distill. We are the spice sommeliers.Starting out as my personal portfolio site, there has always been a pragmatic sort of evolution to the brand since its inception in late 2009. Stationery items were designed and added as I had a need for them. This year, it felt like the time had come to streamline and consolidate the identity.
To celebrate this exercise, all-purpose greetings cards were letterpress printed as a tie-up with sister stationery initiative The Little / Little Co. These will be the studio's year-end Christmas cards!
Production Lesson(s)
Duplex cards are notoriously hard to stay perfectly flat. The boss of Kai Lian Printing Service was able to advice me with his years of experience that this was because different paper stocks tend to be used. They bond at different rates with the glue. To solve this, simple use different colours of the same paper stock!
