Letterpress loveliness

Just received this letterpressed beauty in the post from Glasgow Press. I’m probably one of many designers who went straight over to order their own copy as soon as they read about it on Creative Reviews blog. It is designed by Kerr Vernon and really is pretty nice to hold, it features five A5 postcards with lyrics from Glaswegian bands pressed into the GH Smith Colorplan and all held together by a belly band with a wax seal — brilliant.

A great mailer that will surely succeed in bringing in some work and at the least rasing their profile in the minds of print loving designers everywhere.

Daylight 7th Birthday Poster – Hand printed at Hot Bed Press

As you may or may not know, I’m actively involved in a great little place called Hot Bed Press in Manchester.

Before moving to Nottingham, I had my studio there and still do all my screen printing and etching work in the printmakers’ workshop. It’s always nice to see what other people get up to in the treasure trove that is HBP, so here’s a great piece of creative print from Daylight; an award winning, independent, creative moving image company based in the northern quarter of Manchester.

To celebrate their 7th birthday, Daylight hand printed a limited edition of posters at Hot Bed Press and sent them out to friends, neighbours and clients. The posters are screen printed with a Phosphorescent paint which charges up in the light so it glows in the dark. Thankfully, Daylight documented the process behind the posters and created a little video. Enjoy…

Here’s what Colin has to say about it… Read more »
