BROWSE
Here are the best print projects from July to December of 2014. Will post the second one next week and we will be back with our regular programming on January 5, 2015.
Also: Part 1: Jan – Jun
12 — Under the Sign of Saturnism Poster
Great minimalist approach and specially impressive that saturn is made out of metal type.
11 — DBA Membership Brochure and Poster
The design is good but what makes this stand out is that personalization of each brochure through individually addressed dust jackets.
Inked bike tires: what’s not to love?
Fun drop caps and great use of overprinting.
8 — BLOW Poster
You might not want to snort the baking soda used to give this poster its texture but one thing is for sure: the design and printing don’t blow!
Thanks to projects like this one I’m declaring thermography as the next frontier in alternative printing methods.
Beatiful typography elegantly produced with plenty of gold.
The hand-drawn typography shines (not literally) in two colors on top of the kraft-like paper, enhancing the earthiness of the product.
4 — Pantheon Anniversary Poster
We’ve seen plenty of this elaborate typography stuff but laser-etching it onto cardboard brings it up a notch.
3 — Wiener Punch Card for Natedogs
Great twist on the punch card reward system that blends chad and wiener in the most poetic of ways. Great design and printing to boot.
2 — Pirelli 2013 Annual Report by Cacao Design
This may seem like a straightforward die-cut but I bet it was extremely difficult to achieve and the resulting books and case that can stand on its own are unexpected and impressive.
1 — Chad Michael Studio Business Card
Superbly detailed and ornate, this thick card is a gift to the hands of anyone that receives it with its generous coverage of gold foil.
