FIN / Website Promo / 09.12.2009

www_FinePrint_com_au

Fine Print asked The Letter D to develop a website promo targeting local designers.

We saw an opportunity to broadcast their collection of various wooden type, available for loan, creating a mono/analogue contrast to the digital website being promoted.

TLD / QCA Print Lecture / 07.09.2009

QCA_TLD_Sep

Dan Pike was asked to talk about The Letter D’s print-based projects for the Queensland College of Art’s second year Print students – and so the whole lecture was centred around the studio’s ongoing work for Fine Print.

FIN / Postcards / 29.01.2009

A series of nine postcards have been developed for Fine Print, matching the nine letters in the name.

We used the print manager’s collection of old wooden letterpress blocks to highlight each letter, with the content interacting across both sides of the postcards.

FIN / Christmas Card 08 / 12.12.2008

For Fine Print’s Christmas card this year, our idea was to combine as many of the graphic elements created for various Fine Print projects to date as possible, with a view to the year ahead in 2009.

FIN / Christmas 05 / 20.11.2005

fin_xmas05

For Fine Print’s Christmas promotion we thought a book voucher from a local bookstore would be a nice gift for clients, and so the card was developed to match this. A perforated bookmark (above) displayed the clients from the year, as various book titles – including a sneaky plug for The Letter D, at the bottom.

FIN / Website / 04.07.2005

fin_splash1

The website tells the Fine Print story with each page representing the reverse ‘F’ logo differently.

The website has a number of hidden puzzles allowing the user to find the reverse ‘F’. This was a way of linking the suite of stationery to the website, as an extension of the identity.

FIN / Embroidered Shirt / 03.01.2005

fin_shirt

Fine Print’s brief was to create a t-shirt giveaway that clients would actually wear.

The embroidered ‘F’ created a tactile relief from the obvious solution of screenprinting.

FIN / Embossed Stationery / 02.01.2005

The second suite of stationery designed for Fine Print used a full sized emboss block.

The ‘F’ was implied through the un-embossed areas, and we even left a flat space for the stamp.

Commended in the Design Institute of Australia’s Queensland Design Awards.

With a fine tradition of print excellence and a wall full of awards already in the bag, this print manager needed a flexible, dynamic identity that could showcase the level of detail and service they had become notorious for… while still showing off a tad.

Fine Print’s original reverse ‘F’ was reinterpreted and has since become the essence of the identity – everchanging, subtle and adaptable.

Each application of the identity utilises a different production process with the ‘F’ always present though not directly obvious.
