DESIGN ON A BUDGET: Stamps and Identity Design

If you don't have a big budget for offset printing your identity, consider using stamps as a do-it-yourself alternative. They can give a fun, rustic and hand done feeling to your envelopes, business cards, stationery and even packaging …I have been seeing a lot of this lately and found some nice examples: 1) The Vic stationery design as seen on Lovely Stationery by Australia's Seesaw Design. 2) Brown identity as seen on Communication Arts Exhibit by Colombia's Lip Ltda Lucho Correa. 3) Art & Graft stationery design from London's Collective Approach as seen on Lovely Stationery. 4) Designer James Kape's own identity and stationery design.



 

DESIGNER LOVE: Celeste Prevost

I know this work has been blogged a couple of times by others, but I really like the identity that Celeste Prevost came up with for Sweet & Flower a Brooklyn-based flower/candy shop. The rest of Celeste's portfolio is pretty amazing too!

LETTERPRESS LOVE: Poppy Flower Press

I really loved these diecut letterpressed business cards done by Poppy Flower Press and posted on the Oh So Beautiful Paper Blog.

This is my first post. Please be patient with me, as I have never blogged before and I am a bit nervous, and I am teaching myself. I wanted to share the designs that inspire me and what I read about the business of design.
