CLIENT

Paul & Marigold is a bou­tique pub­lish­ing agency spe­cial­iz­ing in cus­tom pub­lish­ing in both the dig­i­tal and print medi­um. It serves clients rang­ing from cor­po­rate clients to inde­pen­dent writ­ers, help­ing them with con­tent and cre­ative devel­op­ment, print pro­duc­tion, and project management.


BRIEF

We were tasked to re-brand a fam­i­ly pub­lish­ing busi­ness. Recent­ly inher­it­ed from his father, the client renamed it and com­mis­sioned us to cre­ate a brand per­son­al­i­ty that would align with the busi­ness as well as com­mu­ni­cat­ing the renewed ener­gy and youth of the busi­ness direc­tion with the new ownership. 


APPROACH

We decid­ed to base our cre­ative direc­tion on the nature of the business—publishing—which in essence means books. We decid­ed to design the busi­ness cards as a series of mini clas­sic titles. 

PRODUCTION LESSONS

As we embarked on the mini-book making, we were challenged by how we could keep it light and not bulky. We explored different materials and our original textile idea had to go because of how heavy it would become. Eventually we settled on the textured colored paper. The next challenge was the emboss of the thin lines for the patterns on the books. The printer was patient to work with us on that and we had to make adjustments of the weight of the lines in order for it to work well.
