Small print runs are precious. And, this particular print, with its bold typography and energetic color palette feels anything but cheap as the big lettering indicates.
A limited edition print created to be sold at Cheaper Show No. 9. The lettering is based on the type used in the Cheaper Show identity while departing from the rigid sans-serif in order to create an amalgam of type styles that reflect the diversity of the event itself.
While the design is important, when you have the opportunity to produce a piece in a way you have never done before — in this case Intaglio printing, which is sort of a reverse letterpress, where the design is etched in a plate, ink is placed in the hollow spaces, paper then placed on top of the plate, and finally pressed to grab the ink — well that just sends shivers down a designer’s spine as the time to start approaches.
This project allowed us to work with a notable Vancouver based printmaking studio which specializes in producing artist prints. Working with a small printing house came the opportunity to lend a hand during the printing process, which gave us insight into intaglio printing.
