CLIENT

Michael George Had­dad is an illus­tra­tor and design­er that lives in Ottawa, ON, Canada.


BRIEF

The Zodi­ac is nor­mal­ly depict­ed in a whim­si­cal style. I thought it would be humor­ous to present the signs as marks in the ratio­nal style of modern/corporate logos from the mid-20th Cen­tu­ry. The print­ing tech­nique need­ed to con­sid­er a tight bud­get, and reflect the feel of the artwork.


APPROACH

I chose to print this project with a Riso­graph machine using Ther­mo­graved (raised) ink. The result is a tac­tile fin­ish that serves the con­cept well.

PRODUCTION LESSONS

The project was an interesting exploration of what is possible on a budget with the Risograph machine.
