Playful Letterpress Cards by Erin Wallace

amanda — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 15:04:49 +0000

I am thoroughly convinced that letterpress makes everything that much better. So naturally when I came across Erin Wallace's work I was overjoyed! Her illustrative style is the perfect blend of whimsy and cute, and her use of color only adds to this even more.

Born in Seattle to a tofu lover and a bike enthusiast, Erin now lives in Baltimore with her cat, Toaster. She graduated in 2010 with a degree in Printmaking from The Maryland Institute College of Art and now she letterpress prints all day, every day.

Visit Erin at her website for more.

Clean Prints by Paul Fox Design

amanda — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 11:59:48 +0000

As someone who has recently developed a strong liking for print design, I have become infatuated with Paul Fox's work. Namely his color palette, clean lines, and simple compositions.

I wish I could tell you more about him--is it a growing trend to supply as little information about yourself as possible on your portfolio?--however, I do know that he is available for freelance positions so hit him up if you feel so inclined.

Newspapers Design

guest — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 11:00:56 +0000

As this is one of my first posts on Abduzeedo I decided to write a quite unconventional one. I'm a regular reader of Abduzeedo since about a half year - I'll never regret - but articles about printed mediums are pretty rare on Abduzeedo. So, in this post I'll show you some newspaper designs that are great in my opinion. Also, there's a great video from the TED Talks by Jacek Utko on how design can save newspapers.

If you know other newspapers with great design don't hesitate in sharing with us. Leave a comment linking some photos so we can take a look at them.

Die Presse am Sonntag

I'm Austrian, therefore it's pretty normal to subscribe to an Austrian newspaper. "Die Presse am Sonntag " is the sunday edition of the daily paper "Die Presse".

They have a great layout and quality journalism, but the sunday edition is even better designed:

Country: Austria
Circulation: about 270.000
http://www.diepresse.com

Hartford Courant

Since many years the Hartford Courant is constantly among the world's best designed newspapers. I think that especially the typography is awesome.

Country: USA
Circulation: about 250.000
http://www.courant.com/

The Rzeczpospolita

The Rzeczpospolita won an award at the 27th competition of newspaper design of the SND (Society of Newspaper Design). In my opinion this newspaper really deserved this award, although the whole design's quite conservatie and traditional.

Country: Poland
Circulation: about 200.000
http://www.rp.pl/

Dubai Xpress

A very new (launched in 2007), clear structured magazine.

Country: UAE
Circulation: 80000-10000, weekly
http://gulfnews.com/about-gulf-news/al-nisr-portfolio/xpress

Chicago Sun-Times

The redesigned look of a popular daily paper in Chicago. In my opinion, the standard of the content is debatable, the design isn't.

Country: USA
Circulation: about 310.000
http://www.suntimes.com/index.html

The Virginian Pilot

There's nothing to say about this design, except: Absolutely awesome.

Country: USA
Circulation: about 200.000
http://pilotonline.com/

The Guardian

And, last, but definitely not least, maybe world's best designed newspaper.

Country: UK
Circulation: about 330.000

ABOVE's new UNION JACK PRINT + Free Print Giveaway

aloa — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 09:14:30 +0000

Above presents his new UNION JACK Print and will give away 1 of his designs to someone that can describe at least 1 thing you like about the print, and 1 thing they don't like so much or would change about it.

EDITION SIZE: 70 REGULAR EDITION (RED/BLUE) + 20 SPECIAL EDITION (ORANGE/GREEN)

PRICE:
REGULAR EDITION (RED/BLUE) = 69.00 BRITISH POUNDS
SPECIAL EDITION (ORANGE/GREEN) = 99.00 BRITISH POUNDS.

LIMIT PER PERSON: 2 PRINTS PER PERSON TOTAL *(ONLY 1 SPECIAL EDITION PER PERSON)

AS ALWAYS, ABOVE DESIGNED AND SCREEN PRINTED EVERYTHING HIMSELF. IT DOESN’T GET MORE PERSONAL THAN THIS!

PRINT INFO: Above first painted these UNION JACK Arrows in LONDON during his “2005 EUROPEAN TOUR” where he painted and installed his signature Arrow’s in 14-countries. We think this prints image and reflection transforms the already good looking UNION JACK motif transform into something mesmerizing. The directional symmetry of the arrows going up and down are a great balance with sharp colors to draw you in even closer. Above spent a lot of time making sure each print was “perfect” and we all agree that this is his best screen print has pulled thus far. We hope you enjoy this print as much as we do. We thank you in advance for your support.

Inspiration: Illustration Master Robert McGinnis

PauloGabriel — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 14:15:26 +0000

For the last few weeks came to my knowlegde an artist that gotta be the Jedi of Illustrators. His name is Robert McGinnis, and you might know him by his 007 vintage posters.

Today, I'm gonna pay a little tribute to this man, who made superb illustrations to book covers, paperbacks, posters and etc. He portraits women like no one, and his designs are really sexy, no wonder he was the man to picture 007 posters for so long. Well, just enjoy these eyecandies. ;)

Print Design Inspiration

PauloGabriel — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 13:59:23 +0000

Lately I've been doing some research on prints: magazines, booklets, brochures and stuff like that. I'm a big lover of fanzines... or any kind of zine actually, and there are a lot of great stuff around to look at.

Here in Porto Alegre for example, we have 3 big, famous zines that have cool designs Solto, Noize and Void. And besides that, in the internet, we get to find awesome articles about prints. Here are some of them:

Otaku Kaidan Magazine

Beautiful Brochures and Booklets

Excellent Book Covers and Paperbacks

Well Done: cook first
