“Colour is infinite, you can always split the difference between 2 colours.” And with that statement Pantone throws 566 new colours into the mix with their new Pantone Plus Matching System. If only we had Pantone’s 28 spot colour press at our disposal, and if only our clients had the budget to print 28 spot colours. Until then, we’ll have to settle for more modest 2 or 3 spot colour jobs or hope that printers can match these wonderful new hues via CMYK processes, but I won’t hold my breath. My favourite line from a print rep: “Ooooooh, gee, i don’t know… hmm, orange (or purple, or black, or ‘insert colour here’) is a really difficult colour to match.”. I’m of the opinion that more colour=more awesome but printers may not agree.

With the recent release of Adobe Creative Suite 5, I’m sure there are many designers who may be sharing Tyler’s sentiment. (Just to clarify for those of you who are new to our blog, or unfamiliar with our sense of humour, when we’re not being sarcastic we’re seriously exaggerating the truth.)

I came across these posters from the 1972 Olympics in Munich and couldn’t help but notice the resemblance to the Vancouver 2010 artwork. It’s nice to see that retro graphics are still relevant today.

Finally, after years of coveting these prints, I can finally relax because I have purchased a screen printed Keep Calm and Carry On poster of my very own. This morning while walking past Hoopers, I just happened to look up at their window display and noticed the posters in the background. They still have black, red and perhaps even a yellow one left. Sorry friends, I bought the last mint green one.

I need it, I want it, I have to have it! There is no doubt that Jessica Hische has created some beautiful work, but her limited edition Letterpress Drop Cap print might be my favourite so far. If I wasn’t saving every spare penny for my friend’s wedding in Hawaii, I would be ordering her limited edition print this second. This has definitely made my wish list and I’m crossing my fingers that there will still be one left for me to buy in April. (Photos courtesy of Jessica’s website.)

We’re switching things up a bit for this edition of Typographic Tuesdays. This quote is from one of our clients, and we tend to agree with him.

We’re working on updating the portfolio section of our website with the latest and greatest projects we’ve been creating. Check back soon to see all the new work. Until then, here’s a little taste of things to come. Oh, and just a tid-bit of useless information (because I know you were all wondering), there was only one printer in town who would even attempt to do a die-cut spinning wheel without a rivet (it’s magical, I know).

Ryan Dixon has cleverly turned different types of typographic brackets into sweet moustache posters. There are three ‘tache legends’ so far: Freddie Mercury, Tom Selleck and Hulk Hogan. You can check out his post over at the CR feed.

A couple of week back I posted the preview for Julian Casablancas’ upcoming solo release. I remarked how I have a soft spot for late 70’s/early 80’s graphics. I’m still on the fence for what my overall opinion is on the concept for the album, perhaps only time will tell. I certainly dig this clever cover, however, I’d love to hear your thoughts…
