Scottish Design Award: Stationery

This amazing design for Shannon Tofts Photography from Size Design received the Award for Stationery at the Scottish Design Awards this month  http://bit.ly/lifkKb

This was a technically challenging task. The stunning T/camera logo required a number of print runs to achieve depth and detail.
Firstly, a solid image of the camera with scant detail was printed with a light impression. The next plate, with additional camera detail, was applied with a heavier hit, printing black on black.
Finally, grey text was printed.

Letterheads are printed on crisp Colorplan 135gsm pristine white and the business cards are a very smart Colorplan Triplex 810gsm, pristine white to ebony to pristine white.

A Marriage of Design and Craftsmanship

Illustrious Royalty

In the week of the Royal Wedding, Glasgow Press is delighted to feature a remarkable portrait of their right royal highnesses, captured in stunning likeness by London illustrator, David Janes.
So, we didn't print William's wedding invitation, but this beauty - letterpress printed in two colours ink on bright white Colorplan 540gsm - more than makes up for that.
A few words from the illustrator himself . . .

Charles & Camilla laughing as they are driven through the flames...
A promotional mailer which was sent to 500 publishers, magazine and newspaper editors and various art directors.
Each card had a cocktail stick attached to the back, so if you wished you might reenact the scenes from December last year.
