During our imminent re-brand, we are researching letterpress printers for our new stationery – and have come across this stunning calendar produced by Studio on Fire. You can buy one here.
Do have a good look at the Beast Pieces blog – as there are some great samples of letterpress.

Harry Pearce and Jason Ching have designed a series of posters for the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime that highlight the relative merits of drug treatment and rehabilitation around the world. The posters are a training tool specifically aimed at the Russian police, whose country has a particularly poor track record in drug treatment. The posters had to be eye-catching, easy to absorb and not reliant on language. The typographic solution built a simple world map from internationally recognised country abbreviation codes (GB, US, RU, etc). Eight variants were then designed, using colour coding and icons to provide comparative statistics around drug abuse, the incidence of HIV, Methadone and opioid maintenance therapies, and needle and syringe programmes.

“One positive change the recession has already brought is the shift of work from larger studios to small, young agencies (granted, this probably isn’t that positive if you’re the ‘larger’ agency in question). The companies that have been patiently waiting in the wings for the past couple of years are now getting their chance to impress those in a position to commission work, as the benefits of having little or no overheads (and egos) to contend with are making them an appealing alternative financially.”
