Print & Design Awards 2011 Nomination

Jonathan — Fri, 20 May 2011 13:22:05 +0000

We recently found out that our design work for Bassenthwaite Reflections Walking Trails leaflets has been shortlisted for the ‘Best Use of Recycled’ category in The Print & Design Awards 2011.

The awards, in conjunction with Print & Paper Monthly (Whitmar Publications) ‘celebrate all the best things in print – quality innovation, its environmental ethos and importantly, the people.’ So the nomination alone is something we’re very proud of and a big pat on the back for us.

6000 leaflets we’re printed on Cyclus Print 100% Recycled, FSC certified paper, using environmentally friendly inks by McKanes Printers, Keswick. Printing the leaflets on the Cyclus Print recycled stock meant they were eligible for the ‘Best of Recycled’ category within the Awards.

The Print & Design Awards announcement read:

We have had a tremendous response to the awards this year – our best ever. There were some stunning examples of print.

The environmental category, as always, was inspiring, with all contenders showing a deep understanding of how print works hand in hand with ecological issues and provides greener communiations.

The judges felt that the overall quality and creativity of the entries was fantastic and in all categories it was a difficult selection process to shortlist the best. But after much discussion the nominees were finally chosen.

The Print & Design Awards will be held aboard the Silver Sturgeon boat on the River Thames on 23 June.

Wedding Stationery wins typography competition

Jonathan — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 16:46:35 +0000

Wedding stationery designed by Slug & Bull has been selected as one of the winners of Media Temple’s typography competition in which winners received a limited edition copy of typography magazine, 8 Faces.

8 Faces is a new magazine for fans of typography that asks eight leading type designers compelling questions informing the arguments behind “good” type usage. The magazine had sold out completely the first day it was announced. Luckily Media Temple (mt), the lead sponsors of 8 Faces, had some limited editions made exclusively for partners and some lucky clients. To win a copy you had to enter an example of work showcasing your best typography.

We decided to enter the wedding stationery that Matt had designed earlier in the year for his wedding. Having obsessed over it for months, it was one of our favourite pieces of typography work… and Media Temple agreed!

See what you think of the wedding stationery below.

Custom Monogram of Matthew & Olga. Fonts used are Mrs. Eaves and Aphrodite Pro
