In the spirit of the freemasons, there exists a creative group called Levy 7. Not much is known - they describe themselves as, “a collection of like-minded individuals who, through their awesomeness and grace, elevate the larger group in any and every social and professional endeavor, making us simply the most dynamic advertising sleeper cell/social [...]

The folks over at Cue don’t mess around. They designed this seriously good card with a cartouche-like outer shape. We printed a single color letterpress on each side and die cut the cards with a small punch in the center.
When you are printing a business card with letterpress on each side, usually one side is [...]

When we work with designers on projects we have conversations about “production strategy.” Sometimes letterpress is a good fit for the design intent, sometimes not. And often times we combine other production methods to achieve the effect being sought after. Black business cards present a range of production challenges. Flooding a white paper with black [...]

Our design friends over at Westwerk have some tremendous attention to detail. Be careful, these images are NSFW.

We designed this identity with mountaineering in mind. Saying “10 Zing Consulting - Helps you reach the top” would have been really lame. So we wrapped that message into the design with the shape. Show it, don’t say it.
We went lo-fi with the production and used a 55pt coaster board with 2 color letterpress. Then [...]
