Remember the Jones & Vandermeer RI Proofs and the RII & III proofs? Well we’ve been working on some product tags for her beautiful mink yarn! Below was the first round presented. These will be offset printed 4/4 and punched with a 1/8″ hole for attachment.

Anna & Jason ROCK!

I have to say, I LOVE my clients. Anna & Jason were no exception. I’ve been working on their branding, blog design and business cards during the 3rd quarter of 2010 and am finally getting around to blogging about the finished letterpress printed piece. Below are some of the explorations from their branding package regarding logo alternates, business card layouts and condensed exploration of their initials.

Anna & Jason were looking for refined, minimalist and something with a pop of color. Their style was amazing, and designing for them was challenging and rewarding. Every time I felt stumped, we’d have a phone call and get down to business regarding where design was going and what tweaks needed to be made. In the end I’m really proud to say that this is another of my favorites.

Letterpress printed business cards – 2/2. I love how these act as individual cards for both anna & jason – what a great way to individualize on one print run.

Edge painted with matching pantone ink – mixing this color was tricky because the pigment dried darker. I kept having to add white, then water, then white until we got the perfect shade. Can I say I’m totally digging the light orange/peachy color with the grey?It’s a fabulous departure from the yellow/grey trend.

If you have gotten this far and are paying attention!!!! Those above are custom die-cut business card sleeves. We’ll be offering them exclusively as Promo Pouches because they are just wide enough to fit in a business card or two, as well as a little something else like a compliment card, thank you surprise or a couple of offset mini Moo’s showcasing your work in addition to your contact info.

Saw this and just had to share! I’d LOVE for Baby Charlie to smell like Basil + Mint, then I might just have to eat him up even more than I already do!

The hand-written package

I don’t know if you’ve seen the Victoria’s Secret Pink Organic line but I just love the handwritting on the packaging. It reminds me of a little something I’ve done myself ;)

Cost for this Mother’s Day package? $5/Smile Card since Mom’s can always cheer us up, and Victoria’s Secret is offering a special right now of 2/$20 on these lovelies!

Charles Chocolates Packaging

As I was browsing the Sur la Table website today I happened upon these chocolate bars by Charles Chocolates. I might be totally behind the times with this one, but isn’t the packaging just so quaint and playful? Upon looking into the company a little more, I was excited to find that they offer wedding favor options for brides which you can see below and click here for more information. I think I’d go for the hazelnut, you?
