CLIENT

Stu­dio on Fire is a best-in-class craft let­ter­press print­er. They focus on mak­ing pre­mi­um print work that they love as much as their clients do.


BRIEF

Each year we select ink col­ors, paper stocks, and come up with a theme before ask­ing a slew of illus­tra­tors to join us in cre­at­ing cus­tom art­work for each month of the calendar. 


APPROACH

The theme for 2014 was Hap­py Place, play­ing on the con­cept that your hap­py place might be an actu­al place or maybe just some­thing small in your life that brings you joy. From kit­tens to cas­tles, and cof­fee to burg­ers, this year is chock-full of delight­ful illus­tra­tions to keep you in a good mood all year (small dis­claimer: you might get very hun­gry some months).

PRODUCTION LESSONS

With each iteration of this project we strive to improve on the year before, tweaking die lines, experimenting with new production techniques, and finding ways to make the final product exciting for recipients to rip open—aiming for the same excitement level for people who are receiving a calendar for the 9th time as those who might be receiving their first one.
