Project Description
Legion is known at the National Stationery Show for their annual promotions. This years event was all about the money! 32 designers and exhibitors were selected to participate in in the project submitting a design for their own currency. Each dollar bill represented their unique style along with their printing capabilities.Attendees were invited to fill their pockets with these whimsical bucks that were die cut, holographic, blind embossed, screen printed, foiled, letterpress printed and even risographed. The initiative was created to drive traffic to the participating exhibitors’ booths as well as to show off the breadth and capabilities of the papers Legion offers.
Once the attendees checked out the booths holding these bills, they would head over to Legion's booth to stash the money in the Wallet created by Reyn Paper Co. and printed by Henry & Co.
Production Lesson(s)
After working with 32 different designers, it was very interesting to see how designers choose papers for their unique style. Our paper selector was a huge help in this process:I was surprised to learn how many designers and printers are now using indigo treated papers.
