  • ••NEW•• Swoon
    Business cards and gift tokens for new independent hair salon in Manchester. Swoon has been created by some of the best stylists in Manchester who have worked in the industry for over 20 years — they came to us for some new print collateral. Business cards were letterpressed in black and red on thick, uncoated board. Gift tokens were letterpressed silver on silk board and a special blind debossed version on mirrorboard was created for special customers.

  • ••NEW•• Why We Love Manchester
    Mainly as a reaction to awful "I ♥ MCR" campaign that can be seen literally everywhere in the city we collaborated with The Lab and decided to find out why people really did love our great city. We then collated all the quotes onto an A2 infographics map. Screenprinted in magenta and bronze on Factory Yellow Colorplan and strictly limited to x50 copies, it features quotes from people who live and work in Manchester about why they love this city. Many thanks to everyone who contributed something — you know who you are.
