Press 1

Posted on July 21, 2008July 21, 2008 Posted in Books, Design, TypographyTagged brochures, graphic design, printing6 Comments

Press 1 is a brochure featuring recent work printed by Team Impression. Printed on GF Smith Colourplan Yellow Sorbet 135gsm, Press 1 features work by Design Project, Spin, Saturday, Six and Made Thought.

I wish there were more detailed shots of the brochure but I checked the TI site and didn’t find any reference to it. I’d love to get a copy it as well.

UPDATE: I was sent some hi-res images from the guys at Six, so I’ll be posting them tomorrow.

Avoid This Book Like The Plague

My good friend Alex has informed me that his illustrations along with work from many other illustrators have been plagiarized in a book called Colorful Illustrations 93°C. The book is also filled with interviews by Darren di Lieto from The Little Chimp Society. If you see this book DO NOT BUY IT! Notify the store owner that the book is rip off. As a matter of fact, grab the book and throw it in trash!
