Here's a simple idea I used back in 2013 at the Art Directors' Club Paper Show. You can have the idea! Simplicity!! We printed the napkins as a promo at the show and distributed them at the bars and food areas. Though I cannot say that anybody called me from this idea, I can say that is remembered by many who attended those shows.

Series #4 of my poster trials. The original art had real buttons glued to it. I was able to recreate that in print using 3 layers for Spot UV embellishment. Different levels helped to create different heights and effects.

Design is so important to Print Productions. This card is a self promotion for my company. I wanted to use the latest papers and technologies. But most important is working with a designer who would understand what I want to achieve. I worked with Christina Hagopian because we have worked together on many other productions.

Our discussions always have brought us to another level together. We create a level of design that she would not be able to without me and I without her. This is why every designer should talk about their productions with their printer. You never know where it is going to go and ideas and inspiration flow.

There is much much more going on here for this post. So, I will revisit and have more of a discussion in the future.

Printers...share this with your designers.
Designers...share this with your printers.

Together you will achieve far greater outcomes.

In the high-stakes world of fashion, image is everything. So when Coach Inc. – the holding company for Coach New York, Stuart Weitzman and Kate Spade New York – rebranded itself as Tapestry a few years ago to take the focus off the famous leather goods name, everything was designed to reflect th...

As anybody, I appreciate the power of a good referral! But, this one in particular was a great one!!

I received an email from regarding producing a very unique book. So the next day I was sitting next to him. He pulled out his laptop and showed me a beautifully designed Siddur (prayer book). It had colorful watercolor images and most of the text was in Hebrew. Garin said that he had been working on this for quite a few years and we discussed techniques, papers and fabrics.

My suggestions he acknowledged and I built a blank prototype so he could feel its weight. Then, he put his trust in me. And this is what I delivered.....

As a footnote, this book, as in most Hebrew Prayer Books opens right to left.

The reason for this is because in ancient times when etching in stone tablets, it was easier for a right handed mason to hold the chisel in their left hand and the hammer in their right. You can see now why this tradition is used today.

Let's start with the slipcase. I used a Midnight Blue Allure Fabric from www.LBSbind.com. I chose this linen fabric because it has a coating on it to prevent the edges from fraying. Because of its constant usage I wanted to be sure the book and slipcase maintained its integrity. You can see that it was hot stamped in white then after.

The cover to the book is quarter bound in the same fabric. The cover art is printed as a wrap, soft touch laminated and then wrapped on a 98 point board.

The interior has custom printed end leaves and the text is printed digitally on 100 # Accent Opaque from Papers. The color really popped using this paper especially as the result of using and HP Indigo press.

The pages were folded, smyth sewn and them left in book block form so we could color edge the papers in a matching blue pigment. Then the book was married to the covers and placed in the slipcase.

To present the book as a gift, I produced a beautiful color canvas bag that was digitally printed with the same brilliant graphics used on the interior.

Overall, this book is gorgeous and shared with some very lucky recipients.

Are you looking to produce a legacy book? I'd love to work with you and discuss all options available.
