Jack Davison Posters

This is a superb set of three A1 posters produced for the book launch of ‘Photographs’, by Jack Davison, at the New York Book Fair last September...


Jack Davison is a young English photographer who has an enviable reputation and client list including British Vogue, New York Times Magazine, Hermes, Burberry, Modern Weekly China, Nike, Margaret Howell and many more...

The launch at the book fair is Jack's first book, hence the production of posters for the book signing. The book is published by Loose Joints.
These A1 size posters are designed by Matt Willey and the really smart thing about them is that the posters can be arranged side by side, in any order, ad infinitum.
The posters are printed on our new weight of Offenbach Bible in 80gsm and are printed Offset litho in 2 colours - a Duotone combining Black and Pantone 485 red by Principal Colour in the UK.
If you aren't familiar with Offenbach Bible, it is the most wonderful sheet of paper. A genuine 'Bible Paper' means that it has a high opacity (for a light weight) archival quality and excellent strength. It also prints beautifully as you can see from the many other projects appearing on this blog. Originally available in 40, 50 and 60gsm, we have now introduced a heavy weight ...80gsm!

An edition of 200 of these posters is available through Loose Joints publishing with all proceeds from the sales of the posters going to Amazon Watch.

Matt Willey is now a partner at Pentagram in New York and kindly took a picture for me, showing the posters on display at the NY studio, sadly devoid of people due to the current lockdown...
Jack Davison is represented by Mini Title and the book was published by Loose Joints.

Margaret Howell AW2018

Margaret Howell is a contemporary British clothing designer who has worked successfully in men’s and women’s clothing for over four decades. After graduating from a fine art degree at Goldsmiths’ College, London in 1969, Howell started making accessories. Her hand -made beads and knitted accessories came to the attention of Vogue and other fashion magazines, encouraging her to go onto designing clothes.
This is the promotional literature for the new Autumn Winter collection. It is a broadsheet format. Size is 140x198mm, folding out to 594x840mm and is printed on our new paper called SIXTIES.
It is concertina folded horizontally and vertically.
Above is the front view and below is the wonderfully 'ghost-like' reverse.

The whole publication is all printed offset litho on our new Sixties, 60gsm ...and it looks and feels absolutely gorgeous - it flops and folds in a delightful way when handling the publication as I hope these images demonstrate. SIXTIES is a new paper which has the same translucency as a tracing paper - but it feels like a normal paper! … you can see the translucency in the image below:

The publication is printed offset litho in CMYK and the colour reproduction on Sixties is excellent, as you can see in the detail image below. Printing is by Push in London.
Creative direction and design is by Studio Small. Photography is by Chris Moor.
