We are plugging away, enjoying spring, with one eye on the monitor and the other taking in the view of the purple flower-covered Dodger stadium hillside outside our office. Also, the spring has brought a new addition to our studio, Nancy Julson-Reily, with her keen eye, smooth disposition and awesome outfits. She’s certainly upped the ante when it comes to our wardrobe choices in the morning!
We have been very excited to witness that our Original Beans packaging is getting some buzz about town (by town, we mean the internet). It’s a project that we’re particularly proud of, and one that uses variety of interesting printing processes (including a custom paper order from Mr. French, our eternal crush, blind embosses, foil stamp and yummy spot colors). Not to mention the delicious goodness that the packaging contains within!
The project was featured on FPO (For Print Only) on underconsideration.com:

As far as current projects, we have some exciting things coming up, and will posts pics asap. One of the irons on the fire is the LA Garden Show at The Arboretum. The theme of the exhibition is Living Green which has granted us the opportunity to continue in the direction of greener, more sustainable printing options.
Our clients are busy as well, here’s a few things going on this weekend if you’d like to visit them (please tell them that we say hello!)
