A design for a save the date for a friend. The idea is that we are going to screenprint or letterpress it on chipboard, so I threw the effects on it so you'd get the idea.
Hi Kelly, this looks nice! I was just at a local letterpress shop, I was planning to have a cd package printed onto chipboard aswell, it turns out, as I saw in some samples, that the effect of the depth is significantly reduced due to the short fibres and darkish color that doesn't reflect as much light, and, between the uncoated card and type of ink generally used the black is more of a charcoal gray. Do check out your supplier's results but I was back to the drawing board late in the game... Just thought I'd pass it on... Cheers!
