Lasercut and Letraset
May 05, 2011 Print, Typography 0 comment(s)
We used a laser-cutter to create custom stands for the placeholders at my sister's wedding. The machine precisely sliced each out from a single piece of card. I added each guest's name over the course of a couple of evenings at home, using old-school Letraset sheets to rub each letter down in foil gold.
Placeholders on the table. Thanks to Sarah Kwan for taking this photo while I was on bridesmaid duty!
Letterpress Printing: Placeholders for my Sister’s Wedding
April 17, 2011 Art, Print, Typography 0 comment(s)
My sister asked me to print up some name placeholders for her wedding next week, so Jonny and I booked a session at Williamsburg's premier letterpress studio The Arm and created a custom plate from scratch (with a little joyful Grecian flavor).
For now I'm only posting photos of the metal typography before the ink rolled, because I'd like the finished cards to be one of many nice little surprises for her (and her fiancée Li Nah) on the day itself. Thanks to Bryan and Dan for helping us out!

2011 looks to be a very busy year indeed. My beautiful sister Ally is getting married at the end of this month, so there's lots I'm working on now before we head back to the UK.
This season Style Thirteen is introducing singer/songwriter Marla Joy as muse to designer Hendrikka Waage. At SKAGGS I created these graphics for the Style Thirteen site and e-newsletter.
