Here are the best print projects from July to December of 2016. We will be back with our regular programming on January 4, 2017.
Also: Part 1: Jan – Jun
12 — Brew Nord Poster
This poster stood out for its deep blue paper choice and deeper blue ink choice paired with gold. The nice, textural design doesn’t hurt.
11 — VIRUS Book
Great presentation for this book, using regulation tin foil that pairs greatly (yet concerningly) with the “VIRUS” title.
10 — “Fast & Four” Skateboard Deck Invitation
Instead of phoning in an Evite for her kid’s 4-yo party, Laura duplexed little skateboards and even curved the edges. Hang ten, mom! (Wait… that’s another sport, right?)
9 — Salt Lick Whiskey Barrel-Aged BBQ Sauce Package
Although the fact that this is a giant bottle of Texas BBQ plays a huge role in my attraction to this project, the copper foil stamping on black paper is equally appetizing.
8 — Lyndon & Nick’s Wedding Materials
No offense to other wedding invitations shown on FPO but the sophistication and lack of script fonts in this wedding suite gives us all the feels.
Production Method
Emboss
Engraving
Foil stamp
Letterpress
Design
Nick Adam
Printing
Artistry Engraving
Rohner Press
Putting a lot of text on the cover is an old trick but the contrast here with the baby blue type and the debossed type is great. The blue stock serves as a great background for the black and white photos and the smaller sheets intermittently placed in the book keep it surprising.
6 — Andy Stewart Design Identity Materials
Sometimes all you need is a solid, fun design and 1-color letterpressing on thick paper.
5 — “Unfolding the Saree” Zine
This year’s lists have been kind to small-run, DIY projects and this zine celebrating the Saree is a great example of making something unique without big printing budgets. Also, those tiny blue hangers? Sweet.
Production Method
Silkscreen
Printing
William Arts, Mumbai, India
4 — Carolina Manresa Identity Materials
Perfect print concept paired with a clever logo for a dentist!
3 — French Paper “Total Package” Promo
The decadent aesthetic of Charles S. Anderson Design is perfectly brought to life with a heavy dose of foil stamping across a set of six paper packages on — what else? — French Paper.
These gigantic posters pack a colorful punch with intensely dense ink coverage in eye-popping combinations.
The combination of paper stocks — purple, metallic shiny, and black — overlapping page sizes and simple design make this little logo book a standout self-promo.
