Atelier Martino - Jazz Mag

This is a publication. A two colour print job that has an amazing layout. First off, all the detail on the front cover and throughout the magazine, weather its the header or type work is immaculate. The designer has a massive attention to detail. The limited colour palette of the pictures with the type is a really nice eye catching way to layout.

Detail is something that I am going to start looking at a bit more. I like big bold statements mixed with small detail.

Nous Vous - Lot 9 Book

'Lot Nine' - a document by Nous Vous.
96 page, 170mm x 190mm publication,
80gsm Cyclus offset inner, 170gsm Offset Cover,
Cover with hand applied tape cross.
Edition of 25. 

These book have so much attention to detail. The layout is really simple and crisp, straight to the point. Some of the pages are differently printed with digital, litho, screenprint etc. I WANT TO MAKE A BOOK.

Boxhead Design - Opera North

A real nice print project using a limited colour palette of just two colours. The overlay of the wight type over the coloured image makes the type stand out well.

Printed (with a double hit and overprint of the second colour) on GFSmith ColourPlan.

Boxhead Design - The Underline

Independent limited demo release for Leeds band ‘The Underline’.
Utilitarian typography foil blocked directly onto dutch board (normally used to form the basis of a casebound book). 

The demo in this format was limited to 150 copies. Constructed & Foil Blocked by ‘Progress Packaging’.

I love the stock choice and the colour of the ink, they have used letter press to get the desired effect and spot colour. They have also been able to incorporate a little extravagance in the form of an antistatic envelope to seal the package.

Boxhead Design - Wave Media

Foil blocked onto a casebound sleeve with a screen printed DVD face.

Constructed & Foil blocked by ‘Progress Packaging’. I want to produce work more like this, where it is different types of print uses on different stock. So mixing digital print with screen print is effective for the work involved.

Boxhead Design

An Ancient, slightly obscure proverb laid out with a found, wood block, sans serif typeface.

The stock is chosen carefully making sure to mix well with the font and black, block colour. It's just a studio project but its really cool and simple layout and type.

Self Service

The overlay of the small and thin type looks great over the top of the pic. Limited colour looks great and the picture is most prominent underneath the type.

Posters

Good typography mixed with a nice picture on reverse. I love the simple symbols in the corner of the pages, the strong type on a white stock works perfectly. The folds are always a good thing.

Tycho - Toronto

 

Some hand printed vinyl sleeves with digital print poster. I have choses to screen print my sleeves as it is the best way too achieve a nice print on a perfect sleeve.

I like the limited use of colour on the sleeve and the coloured stock choice is enough colour to make it striking.

Studio Kxx

I love the colour choice, simple and minimal. The stock looks nice and uncoated, the fold looks perfect. I think the mixture of type and image and type as image works.

Once again I like the type and image mixture.

Book binding is something I am getting more and more into and something I would love to learn again. This simple layout with type, image and minimal colour complement the perfect hand bound book.

14 Bike Co

This is for a really up-market bike shop in Brick Lane - London.

I love the layout of it, the stock choice is uncoated and works really well with the bold photography. I think that its the photography that makes it, without it the design and layout wouldnt be half as strong.

Another Landlords

There is nothing very special about the format of the booklet, but the layout is nice and simpple. It hits you with pages of bright colours and large type, then it dulls down into somple type and photographs.

Simple and effective type and layout makes for a nice looking brochure. Without tight breif guidelines this could look really nice.

Nation of Shopkeepers

This is a poster/info leaflet/publication for the bar ' A Nation of Shopkeepers'. The layout is really cool, because it reads like a leaflet and folds out into a listing poster. Its is layed out well, clean and simple. The stock is a good choice, un-coated and off white.

For my next brief I want to do something similar.
