"Pretty much everything"
What self-respecting typophile could resist exploring the “ins & outs” of this ligature-licious promotional poster? When printers and designers work in conjunction it’s always a winning combination — especially when things don’t go as pl&.
This was my first time doing screen printing, and Bianca, Mike and Jordy at Studio XIX could not have been more awesome to work with. The final colour ended up being quite a bit more subdued than I expected, but it looks better that way after all.
