Black & White

A book from my shelf that uses a debossed black print as the sole artwork for the front cover. I love the simple use of black and white, which extends all the way through the publication, showing a dedication to raw design. I love the type and even more so the image used for this A5 sized case bound publication

Portland Firsts

 This map and poster from Paste in Place  announces Portland State University's lecture series for 2011-12. The map image and the lecture series information are organized on two distinctly colored layers. Both layers were overprinted to create a sense of depth and visual interest on top of keeping costing down.

CANTOUR

Waynelei Design produced this wayfinding system is designed to make a museum browsing experience more efficient.I would expect each colour to be a spot, although seeing as there is 6 main colours plus the text on the publication, the costing would be rather expensive. So the publication would be CMYK process but it could need to be pantone mathced to get the colour for wayfinding graphics around the museum and surrounding area.

Forty

Astronaught Design are one of my favoured design studios, I love everything that comes to find itself on their website. This branding and identity for FORTY is a beautiful combination of stock and spot colour. The red compliments the grey realy well and is most likely a specified pantone so the company can keep their identity fluent.

Wrap

Very complex design for Wrap magazine, unsure of the designer but its a good example of overprint used alongside image.

DUMDUM

Again from BASTER, I love this set of monotone posters. The choice of colour here is impeccible, all rich vibrant colours working for both type and image. The posters are for a festival, each representing a different night of acts and line up, a clever way to further brand and theme each night.

Deslin Records

Vinyl artwork has some extremely interesting artwork and has done for decades, this particular design is fom BASTER studio in the Netherlands. The photomontage design is printed in monotone most likely using a dark purple spot colour. The single use of colur allows the design to get away with using so much imagery whilst not looking to cluttered.

Schampus

This quarterly magazine for Schampus designed by Bergmann Studios has a very strong
focus on layout and colour. Using only 2 spot colour throughout this publication, it
effectively manages to differentiate between sections of text and image keeping the cost of
the job affordable but in no way bland.
The monochrome imagery keeps the colour theme consistent and again effectively
communicates the imagery whilst keeping the price down.

Stedefreund

CATRIN SONNABEND designed this flyer for Stedefreund, Berlin, 2010 - three exhibitions
exhibiting a comprehensive abstract series from the Berlin gallery.

Depending on the quantity produced I would want to say it has been offset litho, using two
spot colours, however depending how big the event was it could have easily been a small
digital print job, again an attention would have ben payed to the stock ensuring a cost
effective and easily foldable paper was chosen.

PR∆SM

This autmn/winter collection zine for PRISM clothing is a typical example of promotional
material circulating in the fashion world. NEO NEO designed this particular edition along
with a promotional poster that had a rather contrasting style.

CMYK process and A4 format with a simple saddle stitch bind, not a lot of costing has gone
into the process but it serves its purpose well.
