BRIEF

We set out to create a new addition to our letterpress stationery product line.


APPROACH

For those too young to remember (or those that are bit older and prone to forget), an aerogram is a letter and envelope in one. With our design, there’s no glue or tape needed, so simply write your message, tuck the tabs in, stick a stamp on, and off it goes. Aerograms were quite popular back in the day, but they officially went the way of the dodo. We thought we’d bring them back with a bit of gusto. Each aerogram has the same wild pattern, a neon Native American inspired motif that is just as much fun to send as it is to receive.

PRODUCTION LESSONSWe printed a common neon pink plate across all three aerograms, then mixed up the run by switching the ink colors on the second plate: electric blue, neon purple, and bright orange. Perfect registration was essential for this piece, so we needed a large amount of patience and a well behaved press.
