Glassboat

The Glassboat restaurant is permanently berthed on the floating harbour in the heart of Bristol affording spectacular views of the city and harbourside. The Glassboat has a unique interior carefully restored to make the most of the original polished wooden decks, sculptured oak and portholes. The Head chef is Charlie Hurrell. This brochure is specifically for "private hire" clients who may wish to book one of the four different spaces on board.

Size is 270x210mm (a nicely 'squared off' A4 derivative), portrait format. It is an 8pp self cover and is saddle stitched.

It is produced on our Omnia White 200gsm (throughout as it is a 'self-cover'). It is a beautifully simple and functional piece of literature. The exquisite photography works brilliantly with the uncoated finish and tactile mattness of the Omnia.

Nice even solid, out of CMYK, looks superb - flat and even.

Design is by Peloton in Bristol. Creative directors are Karen Bird and Peter Thompson. The excellent print is by Park Lane Press, who are based in Corsham, Wiltshire.

...and an additional thanks to Peloton designer Stacey Martin who kindly lugged up the file copies to London on the train from Bristol for me.

Corpus Christi Christmas Card

This is the very beautiful Christmas card produced for Corpus Christi College, one of the colleges that makes up the University of Oxford. The card, features a specially commissioned woodcut of college founder, Bishop Fox. The college is building up to it's 500th anniversary, having been founded in 1517. The woodcut is itself, shows a statue of Bishop Fox, erected in 1817 to commemorate the 300th anniversary.

 

It is a 4pp card, 180x130mm, portrait, printed CMYK on the outside, one colour, black on the inside. It is printed on our Colorset Natural 350gsm, which has a warm, off white shade and a tactile, natural feel which works well with the woodcut. Colorset is 100% recycled.

Close up of the woodcut:
