Simple yet complicated. These materials tested the processes required to bring them to life—with some setting experimentation on press it all came to be.

Project Description
A set of promotional pieces and business cards we created for our own company. Our goal is to be different, to be a black sheep. We wanted a simple and iconic logo that showed our attention to detail.The simplicity of the design was matched by the complexity of materials and printing methods used. The different printed methods used include letterpress, digital, stamp, binding, and hot foil on pencil. The business cards were letter pressed with a blind indentation on the back.
Production Lesson(s)
Once in production we learned that even though we were using the thickest Crane's Lettra stock, letterpressing both sides with such detail it was a challenge. We used a few different set ups until we got it as we wanted.
