CLIENT

Ran­dal Ford is an award win­ning com­mer­cial and edi­to­r­i­al pho­tog­ra­ph­er. His clients include some of the most pres­ti­gious adver­tis­ing firms and mag­a­zines in the world.


BRIEF

Ran­dal want­ed to share the stun­ning images he cre­at­ed for L.L. Bean’s 100th Anniver­sary to pro­mote his per­son­al brand. We deliv­ered a vin­tage Amer­i­cana kit that had true util­i­ty for those receiv­ing it, giv­ing the pho­tos a sec­ond life and inspir­ing the recip­i­ents to cap­ture their own images with intention. 


APPROACH

To quick­ly sig­nal that the pro­mo­tion would be dri­ven by use­ful parts, we designed a Scout Book as trav­el jour­nal with advice for doc­u­ment­ing road trips on film. We also designed a set of vin­tage post­cards that high­light Maine’s Aca­dia Nation­al Park, where Ran­dal’s L.L.Bean images were cap­tured. We added peri­od typog­ra­phy and print­ed them on Neenah Clas­sic Linen stock to give them a peri­od look.

PRODUCTION LESSONS

Finding the right stock to fit with the overall theme was worth the effort. The Neenah Classic Linen ended up being very authentic of vintage paper goods and insured the postcards would never see the inside of a trash can. Mailing a pencil turned out to be a nightmare because it was a rigid element that wouldn’t run through the post office sorter. And there was low contrast on the masking tape—it would have been nice to have had the opportunity for a press check.
