As I work on the next edition of the letterpress calendar I am exploring paper and printing technique. I wanted to use holographic foil printing but I guess the design of the cover won't look right with it. So we are more on a gold foil, but nothing is finalized yet. If you want to be sure to update on the launch of the calendar, subscribe to the newsletter here. This week I also update the www.mr-cup.com page that brings you to my 3 websites now: this blog for inspiration now at www.mrcup-blog.com, my work is now at www.mrcup-studio.com and the shop at www.mrcup-shop.com. It was important to separate the blog from my work.

 

Also, October will be crazy with Adobe Max coming in Las Vegas where I will be happy to attend invited by the Adobe France team ! This is amazing! I will also come back to Paris to visit some studios in early October and in Madrid at the end to do a talk! In the middle of that, we work on the new blog design! I will sleep after Christmas! 

 

Here comes a nice CD cover which uses the holographic foil printing for all these graphics elements by Hong Kong studio Fundamental. Enjoy.

Will restart from today with this album/band design by Pentagram, for the new album The National. In a world where our relation to music and album is upside down, promoting a new album must be done in a creative way! Here comes what happens when you bring a famous indie band with its so graphic involved record company 4AD to an even more famous design agency, Pentagram! The result is a cover design and promotional materials riffs on corporate branding. So many details, so much inspiring! And the album is very good too! So buy, the vinyl and listen to it streaming on your new iPhone!
