CLIENT

Pepin Gelar­di and Tere­sa Her­rmann are a cre­ative cou­ple based in New York, NY. Tere­sa is a styl­ist for One Kings Lane and Pepin is a part­ner and indus­tri­al design­er at Tomor­row Lab.


BRIEF

Our friends Pepin and Tere­sa cel­e­brat­ed their wed­ding in Maine, ME, at a sum­mer camp called Camp Woh­e­lo, which they renamed Camp TeePee for their long wed­ding week­end. To cel­e­brate the event, they want­ed an uncon­ven­tion­al suite of wed­ding mate­ri­als to match their quirky personalities.


APPROACH

To cel­e­brate the event we cre­at­ed a set of col­lat­er­al mate­ri­als that includ­ed a dig­i­tal ani­mat­ed save the date, a two-sided let­ter­pressed invi­ta­tion wheel to dis­cov­er your spir­it ani­mal on one side and learn about the his­to­ry of the cou­ple on the oth­er, and a 50-page camp brochure. We knew the let­ter­pressed wheels would be pri­cy but worth it, so we designed the rest of the col­lat­er­al to be pro­duced cheap­ly and eas­i­ly using off-the-shelf materials.

PRODUCTION LESSONS

The wheels turned out to be much more complex to produce than we’d anticipated, but well worth the effort. We’ve worked with Cranky Pressman many times over the past few years and always seem to be pushing the boundaries of the letterpress medium in one way or another—this time it was with tiny, thin type; one-sixteenth-inch margins; and three different sized sheets of custom die-cut paper. To insert the braids into the finished pieces, each hole had to be eyeballed and drilled by hand while making sure everything lined up properly.
