I would love to get me my hands on these letterpress plaid cards. I would rub them all day long.

A mission, a driving force, and a simple message are all included in this inkless and environmentally friendly poster that seeks your interpretation and your ability to change it.
Given one word, "environment" we wanted to do something different, to look at what the word "environment" really means, and what it means for us beyond just being conscientious. We wanted to explore how a poster can change with the environment and adapt. Also, we wanted our potential clients to know that we're thinkers and not just a couple of design punks sitting in a studio waiting for something to happen. And we wanted the poster itself to be kind to the environment (no ink, 100% recycleable).
Taking it a step further, the guys behind the poster also created an interactive website that allows others to create their own desktop wallpaper and upload pics of how their poster has changed their environment.
Comments
Yes. Finally something truly new, fresh and exciting. So simple and yet one of the most creative things I've seen in a long time. How often doe someone create a piece like this (a poster) that you interact with on such a personal level with so many possible outcomes? LOVE'N IT!
So cool! The jewelry one is my favorite, because after you make an environment you need to live in it! Way to go about making something cool enough to be posted on a blog named "for print only"... without any print. :)
Brilliant. Love it. Looks very well made.
Thanks for your feedback on our print everybody. It's great hear what you thought about it and extremely happy of course to hear that so many liked it. Thanks again for sharing!
nice, yes. but new, no.
I'd be curious to know if the laser cutting is actually done in the states...
Many thanks to our ADV × 3 partners
