Build aproached us to help with a fun and worthwhile project; with a set budget they needed to create a product that could sell in the Design Museum Shop!
-
*Simple really, printing 4 colour process on recycled grey-boards, sprinkle a *bit of magic, and the kids have a wonderful product that should make loads of cash for their chosen charity. *Build

We are very proud to have been involved in this years Design Ventura schools competition, set & run by the Design Museum, London. The annual competition encourages schoolchildren to think about design in everyday life and the challenge is to design a product for sale in the Shop.
-
This years winners were Haberdashers Askes Hatcham college in South London, who designed Dove Bunting, based on the Design Museum Shop bird.
-
The bunting is on sale and can be brought from the Design Museum Shop & also online
. It costs £9.95, and all profits from sales will be donated to Greenpeace which is the winning schools chosen charity, so buy lots for friends and family!

Celebrating ten years of print from the fourth generation! We like to see these posters as a thank you to the people and companies that have supported us over the last ten ten years and incentives to those in the forthcoming years. It's been a journey! Only possible thanks to the amazing team we have built over those years. We are immensely proud of our team. We look forward to the next ten years with the same enthusiasm, optimism and realism.
Bring 'em on™

Most important at this time is all the people that make up Generation Press. Every detail on this has seen everyone contribute and it is their skill and craftmanship that has made this what it is - A massive thank you to all at GP.

Wow look at this for a line up, proud to have graced our presses with this beauty, this was a labour of love, great imagery, great products and a great design.
-
We were afforded the time with this project to do things in the right order! working with the designer Michael (from Build) from the very beginning.
-
This allowed us to plan each element including getting the sections with the scores on the inserts working out so when all the sheets came together in the slip case, both scored edges were equal.
-
Another attention to detail was getting the wrap around slip case just right so the depth of the capacities were wide enough to hold the inserts but not to wide to let them fall out.
-
One of my favourite aspects on this is the use of the litho printed white on the recycled grey board along side the foil blocking & debossing, a great example of using alternative materials and turning them into something special!

Simon Waterfall called me in to the Poke head quarters to tell me about the amazing D&AD Pencil exhibition he had put together! He wanted a programme of sorts which included a quote from nearly every president of D&AD from its inception, highlighting what their favourite work from their year of tenure was. It was brilliant and an opportunity I couldn’t miss, I asked if I could invite a designer to make it as good as it could possibly be? And it was a unanimous leap of joy when M.C.Place of Build fame agreed to get involved and the rest they say is history, a real combination of recycled stocks and a touch of Colorplan! Plus using our favourite Cyclus 100% offset for the text pages, this is a real compostable beauty.
