I will soon post about the letterpress calendar that works very well as we reach the second target ! Check the project page to check details on the stretch goals !

 

There is so much inspiring designers and projects that I could post 10 times more if I have time ! Tonight I wanted to focus on Barber shop projects ! The above logo is by the Havi Cruz, as well as the Doberman Barbershop... Check his lettering work here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

By Conrad Garner : The 2017 season marks the Toronto Maple Leafs Centennial Season this year. I had the absolute privilege and honor of being asked to illustrate and create the artwork for the entire 2017 centennial season ticket package, tickets and cover. It is the largest project I have done to date with over 250 sketches and almost 60 finished pieces.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All details and much more picture on the behance page of the project. 

 

Less than a week since the launch of the 2017 letterpress calendar Kickstarter and almost 50% funded ! You are awesome ! It gives so much motivation for next step and for creating more beautiful objects ! Thanks for your order and now I need you to spread the word about the project, to share it on social media to tell your friends and followers.

 

Such a great feeling to start receiving the design for the pages ! Here come the first one by Eric Kass, Scott Biersack and Tomasz Biernat who already participate for last year edition. I am also pleased to collaborate with Tom Ludd for the first time, who creates a great facebook group called "the designer's league".

 

 

 

 

This year edition will be printed on color papers, in dark on light paper for the first 6 months, and in light on dark paper for the other ones. The great thing about color papers is that the spines will be in colors too !

 

 

 

 

This is the Terra poster designed  by Kevin Cantrell ! You may recognize it as it was used on the front cover of the Walter magazine 1, printed in varnish on black mat paper. I am so happy Kevin design this year edition of the letterpress calendar. Some copies of the poster are available with the rewards on the Kickstarter !  

 

I will let him present the TERRA project : it is inspired by map insurance lettering. The text is taken from the first few verses in genesis on the creation, suggesting the infinite possibilities to create using gruppo cordenons paper. The negative space around terra creates a circle further expressing the concept of earth. Terra is currently being printed in 14 versions: wood laser etching, as well as copper foil, green foil, and brown foil on various papers.

 

Yes, you well read, 14 versions ! Here come the wood one and variations.
