Imagine the magic when the Polaroid Land camera first came out back in 1948; the technology is still something of a marvel today. “See this new miracle of photography in action today – and you’ll want a camera to enjoy for years to come.”
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.
Studien nach der Natur (Studies After Nature) by German artist Bergbauer is an archive of 665 photographs of 152 different rock forms that were found at the roadside. Bergbauer photographed them from various perspectives and arranged them, by “form and applicability.” Each of the plates are presented on solid off white backgrounds and are based on the compositional criteria of the form of the object and positioning of the objects within Bergbauer’s defined space.
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.

An absolutely amazing project, Raw Color is a collaboration between designers Christoph Brach and Daniera ter Haar in Holland. They dismantle and purify vegetables to their visual essence ‘raw color’. The harvested color is captured by a new process preserving their intensity on color cards. Categorized by shades and families a new map is created which shows their beautiful diversity. This projects reinterprets the vegetable and puts it into new context.
