make invitations

Each year, Make Architects produce an Annual which reviews and shows their work of the previous year which I wrote about in June:  http://justinsamazingworldatfennerpaper.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/make.html

The invitation to the anniversary and book launch of 8 was printed on our lovely Offenbach Bible 60gsm. It is A3 (297x420mm) folded to A6 size. The designers chose to make the invite more about the event itself rather than a Make project, which gives it a less corporate feel. The party was held at The Paramount which is on Level 31/33 at Centre Point and this is the view!



As you can see from the picture below, the invitations were personalised by handwriting the name of the invitee on the top left hand side.

It was designed and produced by Denise Ryan and Emily Chicken at Make and thank you for sending me copies and a lovely note:

Simply beautiful

What does a business card do?

It is hard to argue that a good business card will guarantee lots of business and have potential clients queueing at the door! ...however, I remain convinced that a poor business card leaves little or no impression and worst of all may leave a bad impression.

This is a simple job about which I can't write very much because it is a business card, simply and beautifully produced.

The material is our Flora Tabacco in 350gsm (manufactured by Cordenons in Italy) which is a substantial board with a high bulk, an industrial look & feel and with deliberate "inclusions" or specks. This rough and ready looking material has been juxtaposed with some exceptionally fine hot foil blocking in a matt white foil - and it really is superbly done as you can see. The small lettering in a serif typeface has been well maintained and is a testament to the foilers ability to get the heat, pressure and dwell time on the foiling machine just right.

Design is by Emily Chicken. Foiling is by Birmingham based Tuckey Print.
