Dark Stationary


Continuing on the dark theme of his company’s site and branding, Joesph Bishara wanted stationary cards for his Void Recordings Record Label that have the same low contrast, black scratched up feel while still being able to write on and discern the note on one side with a black Sharpie. The printer thought we were crazy, but they turned out gorgeous.

Press Check – Printed Booklet Brochure


Even though, the picture doesn’t do it justice, the whole experience of walking through a major print shop to check the pages coming off the press is a true adventure.

This particular check was for an updated brochure for Children’s Community School that we worked on with the wonderful print broker, Debbie of  Nugent Custom Printing.
