Matt — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 20:20:23 +0000

Matt Watkins of Haunch of Venison gallery designed this elegant book for Ascent, an ambitious exhibition of work by acclaimed London based designers Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby. Two of the most innovative designers working in Britain today, Barber & Osgerby were recently chosen to design the Olympic Torch for the London 2012 Games, and have produced work for Vitra, Cappellini and many other major producers.

The book features superb photography by Peter Mallet and was produced in two versions, one with a foil-blocked case bound cloth cover and one with a foil-blocked Colorplan Dark Grey cover.

The text pages, on PhoeniXmotion Xenon by GF Smith, feature a gloss Reticulation varnish throughout (look out for our upcoming Print School feature on varnishing).

Marmalade London

Matt — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 20:19:56 +0000

In the fashion world, it’s the small details that make all the difference. Design agency Marmalade London took advantage of Team’s extensive range of in-house finishing services to produce a whole range of items for their re-branding of the Italian high fashion lingerie company, Lingerie D’Elia.

The items, all printed and finished by Team, include foil blocked business cards, information and gift cards, die-cut clothing tags, foil blocked and die-cut envelopes, letterheads, postcards and a self-collapsing box. And to give that extra element of Italian luxuriousness, all the items were printed on the wonderfully tactile Fedrigoni Century Cotton Wove. As the Italians would say – Bellissima!

The Biltmore Hotel

Matt — Tue, 03 May 2011 16:43:30 +0000

Superb quality, luxuriously finished with an expert eye on the details that matter. Does this apply to (a) The Biltmore Hotel… or (b) The design and production of the book. Answer… both-!! Designed by Curious, this oversize case-bound book and slip case was printed and hand finished in-house by Team. The brochure and slip case were covered in Suedel Luxe Les Classiques Flannel and the text pages were french folded (printed both sides) on 148gm Mohawk Superfine Smooth White. The cover and alternate pages were individually foiled in gunmetal silver.

Emmerson Hodge fashion magazine

Matt — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 09:24:57 +0000

Issue one of the men’s fashion magazine Emmerson Hodge features the model Ryan Mertz. The new magazine, which will feature a different single model in each issue, is the work of creative director Ashley Hodge and photographer Nicky Emmerson. The magazine was printed on Ability Offset uncoated stock, which gives a warm, natural interpretation of the subject matter. A coating, or sealer was applied to provide protection and assist drying, especially important with the density of the colours used. Gold cover title foiled in-house by Team.

Clarity Surveillance book

Matt — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 09:24:42 +0000

Mark McGrath Design’s challenge was to develop a brand identity and new corporate book that communicated precisely the qualities of their client, Clarity Surveillance, a provider of discrete surveillance services.

Mark was delighted with the result; ‘We wanted to convey a lot of quite strong messages about the values of the brand, such as clarity, professionalism and impartiality but most crucially the fact that the company needs to remain ‘invisible’ at all times. Team were very helpful in helping me to achieve the result I wanted by the best use of processes and finishing’.

The choice of white foil blocking on white stock puts the message of invisibility across perfectly; only when the light falls across the page in exactly the right way does the complete message reveal itself in it’s true context with the printed metallic blue ‘double I’ of the identity. The result is distinctly visible; a case-bound, singer sewn book that is an impressive combination of intelligent design and fine attention to print and finishing detail. Printed on FSC stocks.
