Our latest project for Dorsch Gallery is a poster/booklet for the recent show Drying Flowers with Microwaves by Corin Hewitt. With folds and a die-cut we have created a poster that folds down into an 8 page booklet. This is a one colour print on off white uncoated stock and has been featured on the Creative Review website.

Studien nach der Natur (Studies After Nature) by German artist Bergbauer is an archive of 665 photographs of 152 different rock forms that were found at the roadside. Bergbauer photographed them from various perspectives and arranged them, by “form and applicability.” Each of the plates are presented on solid off white backgrounds and are based on the compositional criteria of the form of the object and positioning of the objects within Bergbauer’s defined space.
In the studio we are still in awe of the Raw Color project we posted before. These images show attempts to apply some of the strongest pigment made with “juice cartridges”. These inkjet prints are done with (C) Red Cabbage, (M) Beetroot and (Y) Pumpkin. Caused by the irregular juice flow, the inkjet created a unique stripe pattern in every print. How the Dutch duo managed to create cyan ink with red cabbage we don’t know, but for initial attempts these results are amazing.

An absolutely amazing project, Raw Color is a collaboration between designers Christoph Brach and Daniera ter Haar in Holland. They dismantle and purify vegetables to their visual essence ‘raw color’. The harvested color is captured by a new process preserving their intensity on color cards. Categorized by shades and families a new map is created which shows their beautiful diversity. This projects reinterprets the vegetable and puts it into new context.

We have just been to see our friends at Dodd to sign off our latest collaboration with Dorsch Gallery. It’s all looking good, watch this space.
This video gives a rare and amazing inside look at Pantone and the development of the new Plus Series.
Anton Stankowski (June 18, 1906 - December 11, 1998) was a German graphic designer, photographer and painter. He developed an original Theory of Design and pioneered Constructive Graphic Art. His work is noted for straddling the camps of fine and applied arts by synthesising information and creative impulse. He was inspired by the abstract paintings of Piet Mondrian, Theo van Doesburg, Malevich and Kandinsky. Stankowski advocated graphic design as a field of pictorial creation that requires collaboration with free artists and scientists. Despite producing many unique examples of concrete art and photographics, Stankowski is best known for designing one of our favourite icons, the simple trademark of the Deutsche Bank.
