Letterpress and Late nights

February 15, 2008 | Filed Under Check it out  by michael | 

I checked the mail yesterday and opened a wedding invite from our good friends (and clients) Kris & Cori, and I was super stoked on how they had turned out. It was especially interesting after hearing some of the details about what went into the their design & production. First let me say, that Kris is an amazing graphic designer, and so naturally all of his talents were poured into this little project with obvious vested interests, and much to his good fortune, he pulled off the design with flying colors (lots of greens). So I called him and asked if I could blog his creation which I’m sharing with you now. For those of you have the fortitude to attempt a do-it-yourself project like this, the rewards, and the experience, can be quite fulfilling, however there are plenty of very talented people that can guide you through the process, right up to the folded and pressed finish.

Kris & Cori happened to know a friend ( Kristen Johansen) that runs a Vandercook 4 press out of her home studio, and so they were invited to be a part of the printing process as well. Although I don’t know her personally, I’ve heard wonderful things about her. If you’re interested in her services you can email her at kia@bossanova dot com. (to prevent drowning her email with spam, I’ve intentionally spelled out the .com. Please correct it when sending her an email)

Not only are we really looking forward to partying with good friends, but Kris & Cori are getting married in Breckenridge Colorado so that will give us a little out of state time. For now, check out the masters handiwork.

Kris wanted to share some of the photos from their experience, so make sure to check out the links below.
