Here are the best print projects from January to June of 2014. Will post the second one next week and we will be back with our regular programming on January 5, 2015.
12 — F*cking Lovely
Swearing + Script + Gold Foil will always get my vote.
11 — George M. Pullman Foundation Annual Report
The track tearaway on the cover is catchy and the small pages inside enliven this annual report.
10 — Arts Connect Booklet
The sewn binding on this is great, and the black thread plays off really well from the 2-color print job.
9 — Letterpress Perpetual Calendar by Familia Plómez
Printing with actual wood type is nothing new but, here, the font choice and canvas format go perfectly well together.
8 — The Very Merry Christmas Paper Pack
This is Holiday cheer at its typographic best, with every inch of these wrapping papers, postcards, and gift cards covered in 1- or 2-color goodness.
7 — University of Hartford Viewbook
This one is a little hard to appreciate in photos, but the multiple page sizes and wild combination of type and photo styles make for a very groovy viewbook.
6 — Mashrabiya Notebooks & Bookmark for Zeri Crafts
A great laser-cut pattern cover and gold-edged pages will have you questioning whether you really want to doodle on these beauties.
5 — MMXIV: Star Chart Calendar
I enjoy almost every obsessive project, as is the case with this recreated star chart. Add to that great typography, great stock choice, and great printing, and, well, you have a great project.
4 — Typeforce 3
Pink pages? Check. Complex emboss? Check? Tearaway cover? Check. Gold foil? Check. Awesomeness? Check.
3 — Camp TeePee Wedding Invitation Collateral
At the intersection of Wes Anderson, letterpress, and Kinko’s printing lies this wedding invitation that’s all kinds of quirky fun.
2 — Secrets of the Barguzin Skeleton
As awesome as the hidden UV ink and the included lamp are, what makes this book more impressive is its girth and ability to maintain great layouts through 496 pages using only 2-color printing.
Amazingly detailed and beautifully illustrated this 4-color silkscreen print is a feat of color separation and printing that pays proper homage to one of the quirkiest movies around.
