Our new studio books
Posted on 06/07/10.
We have just got our new studio books hot off the press! Both of the 24 page sewn booklets are printed two colour on 25% cotton white uncoated stock. The first–All About Us–uses mixtures of Yellow and Magenta to create a different colour for every spread. The second–The Importance of Professional Design–uses Yellow and Cyan to create a gradient of greens. A die-cut tabbing system is used to make it quick and easy for readers to find the information they are looking for. For more info or a copy feel free to get in touch.

Our latest project for Dorsch Gallery is a poster/booklet for the recent show Drying Flowers with Microwaves by Corin Hewitt. With folds and a die-cut we have created a poster that folds down into an 8 page booklet. This is a one colour print on off white uncoated stock.

Raw Color Prints
Posted on 21/06/10.
In the studio we are still in awe of the Raw Color project we posted before. These images show attempts to apply some of the strongest pigment made with “juice cartridges”. These inkjet prints are done with (C) Red Cabbage, (M) Beetroot and (Y) Pumpkin. Caused by the irregular juice flow, the inkjet created a unique stripe pattern in every print. How the Dutch duo managed to create cyan ink with red cabbage we don’t know, but for initial attempts these results are amazing.

Bill Cosby Sports
Posted on 15/05/10.
We just picked up this classic stand up LP from 1970. We can’t think of a better way to show the animation and energy of Cosby, you just need the sleeve and it is as if you were watching him live. The photography is by Howard L. Bingham, famous for his shots of Muhammed Ali and work for magazines such as Life, and Time. This is actually pretty similar to a Rolling Stones Gimme Shelter poster we have, also from 1970…

Anton Stankowski
Posted on 10/05/10.
Anton Stankowski (June 18, 1906 - December 11, 1998) was a German graphic designer, photographer and painter. He developed an original Theory of Design and pioneered Constructive Graphic Art. His work is noted for straddling the camps of fine and applied arts by synthesising information and creative impulse. He was inspired by the abstract paintings of Piet Mondrian, Theo van Doesburg, Malevich and Kandinsky. Stankowski advocated graphic design as a field of pictorial creation that requires collaboration with free artists and scientists. Despite producing many unique examples of concrete art and photographics, Stankowski is best known for designing one of our favourite icons, the simple trademark of the Deutsche Bank.
