Adolphson-Wiemer Wedding Invitation

2013-05-23T17:41:37Z

Designed by Cristina Pandol

Printed by Cristina Pandol via Vandercook rental at Lala Press

Wedding invitations designed and printed with care by someone with a personal connection are all the more special. This set of wedding materials are a nice example of what can happen when the couple trusts the designer. With attention-grabbing quality and tasteful references to wine—because the couple would be married in a vineyard—each piece finds the balance between something safe to send a conservative relative, and a representation of the couple's energy and creativity.

Like a Champ Poster

2013-05-23T12:36:15Z

Designed by Neuarmy

Printed by Chris Romano

While there were some tough lessons learned in the production and photography of these posters, the design and printing were still very successful and the poster is not afraid to remind you of that. Gold metallic ink on rich black paper may be difficult to photograph, but that does not stop these posters from looking great.

Abigail Birth Announcement

2013-05-22T17:11:27Z

Designed by Lionel Scholtes

Printed by Elegante Press

Designer Lionel Scholtes could not resist the temptation to design his daughter's birth announcements and have them letterpress printed, and the added cost over standard printing was well worth it. These announcements feature Brownstone's soft monoline strokes and decorative swash characters with bold colors to achieve a nontraditional, ornamental but unfussy girly feeling that the designer and printer were going for.

RISD Senior Week 2012

2013-05-20T17:23:34Z

Designed by Emily Albert

Printed by Allegra Printing (Providence,RI)

The identity and print system for RISD Senior Week 2012 features graphics inspired by ribbons and doorways. Ribbons are a reference to new beginnings and ribbon-cutting ceremonies, and the doorways—as points of entry and exit—symbolize graduating seniors exiting academia and entering the "real word." The vibrant color scheme and dynamic composition give these pieces extra energy without distracting from the informative content.

Printed by Starshaped Press
Accucolor Plus

If you love letterpress—and it seems like everyone does these days—then this project is worth a closer look. Each card in this promotional packet highlights a different era of typography. One side of the card exhibits the finished, letterpressed piece while the reverse side displays the plate used to print that piece. Amazing that everything is actual fonts and printing bits.

I'm Here to Take Your Money

2013-05-17T10:19:48Z

Designed by Idiot Pull

Printed by Myself

There's something poetic about taking an aggressive lyric from a gritty song, setting it in an elegant script face, and printing it will gold metallic ink. For this particular juxtaposition of class and thrash, Idiot Pull's Tyler Deal successfully experimented with screenprinting metallic ink for the first time. The result could be considered oddly for designers who don't like to deal with the financial side of the business, or just a fun piece to hang on your studio wall—though you might want to keep it out of the conference room where clients could get the wrong idea.

Amy & Billy's Wedding Celebration Invitation

2013-05-16T17:39:06Z

Designed by Melanie Made

Printed by Melanie Rogala

Recipients of these wedding party invitations are likely to take notice when they open the envelope and find that the invitation has been stamped on a thin sheet of birch wood. The choice of this unconventional material for printed card ties in nicely to the classic American travel design influence, the location—a lodge in the woods—and will certainly make an impression on the invitees.
