We don’t just do digital

I’ve been working on some marketing products for a client and it got me thinking about the enduring importance of print. When you need to make a good impression, you just can’t beat the tactile and sensory impact that a really great printed product delivers.

From presentation folders and product brochures to leaflets and flyers, I offer a full design and production service. I’ll also suggest innovative ways to make your project stand out from the crowd. If your organisation is looking to refresh its marketing material, contact me today to discuss your requirements.

Creative Pro Week

Today is my third day attending Creative Pro Week (May 17-21), an online event with a fantastic collection of speakers on topics of interest to anyone working in the creative industry. There’s loads of interesting sessions to choose from but so far I’ve especially enjoyed talks on infographics, social media and data publishing techniques using InDesign.

April projects

These four very different books were produced recently by Samper Printers and are great examples of the types of work they produce.

Over a century of Michelin® objects — this perfect bound book printed on heavyweight gloss paper is enclosed inside a beautiful metal slip case. Illustrating more than 400 newly found and documented Michelin® collectors items, it’s the second in a series and the fruit of 19 years work by collector Gilles Dutto.

Artisans No.21 — Launched in January 2017 by French pastry chef Stéphane Glacier, Artisans Magazine is dedicated to the art of fine French pastry. This large format (300x240mm), thread sewn casebound book features chef profiles, techniques and recipes all illustrated with high quality food photographs. This book was produced using special ultra matt paper and finished with a matt laminated cover.

Azkuna Zentroa Alhondiga Bilbao — Azkuna Zentroa is a Society and Contemporary Culture Centre in Bilbao. This 270x220mm thread sewn casebound book was printed on uncoated paper and explores the architectural and cultural heritage of the site. The book has a contemporary look featuring bold use of typography.

Galerie La Nouvelle Athènes — this square format (210mm), perfect bound catalogue is produced for Parisian gallery La Nouvelle Athènes. This latest edition profiles 19th century drawings and watercolours. Printing on heavyweight matt paper, the production team took particular care to faithfully reproduce the colour of the original works.
