CLIENT

ak design is the free­lance design moniker for Amy Kitt, design direc­tor for Fac­to­ry Design Labs in Den­ver, and Joshua DeWitt of Bel­lus Letterpress.


APPROACH

Mrs Eaves is a favorite font of ours, so design­ing a piece only with typog­ra­phy from that fam­i­ly sound­ed real­ly fun—the trip­tych came from want­i­ng to do a large piece, but hav­ing to con­strain to the size of the press. Play­ing with all the dif­fer­ent char­ac­ters with­in the font allowed for some del­i­cate pat­tern design, as well as some fun with sil­ly say­ings. Want­i­ng the three pieces to work togeth­er as a set was inter­est­ing and fun to con­sid­er where the col­ors would line up, and how to join them with the pat­terns. The flu­o­res­cent ink pro­vid­ed a great pop of col­or and mod­ern twist with toothy paper.
