The Sub Divide, a collective of beautiful print

In 2016, we got to be a part of something pretty spesh when it comes to the world of paper and print. The culmination was the limited edition book The Sub Divide. It’s part print, part art and a whole lot of beauty. A curated resource celebrating a selection of 30 highly regarded photographers – recommended by and for, the creative industry. The publication has been developed by a collective of specialists dedicated to their craft.

(Most of the content from this blog post first appeared in Issue 11 of GSM Magazine).

The Sub Divide is an exquisite printed resource developed through the pillars of inspiration, experimentation, collaboration and celebration. It also celebrates craftsmanship. With a unique collaborative approach to production, this resource came to life through the dedication and expertise of some very committed individuals. The project started with a simple conversation between John Wanless Director at Bambra Press and one of staff after they saw printed test sheets of photographic material lying on Bambra’s press room floor. Grosz Co. Lab’s Creative Directors, Ben Grosz and Laura Camilleri then became involved by developing the concept and curating the collection of photographic works which the book showcases. Their efforts were none other than extraordinary!

The collective behind this project comprised includes:

> Bambra Press for Initial concept and delivering exceptional print.
> Grosz Co. Lab for the development and curation of the publication through intelligent, articulated design.
> Huber Inks for the supply of the Pacifica Inks and also specialist guidance on technical advice during the process, supplied by Ball & Doggett.
> The Bindery for the development and production of the unique featured binding techniques.
> Avon Graphics for the production and expertise in embellishments and foiling.
> Foldercorp for the production of the sleeve.
> Cartonlux for laminating the stock for the sleeve.
> Nordale Graphics/Wibelin for the binding techniques.

And yours truly for the supply of paper (visit our existing websites until the Ball & Doggett one is live).

The technical challenges

Such a complex print project presents many technical challenges. A key driver to the success of the publication was the extensive research and development phase. This included a series of mock-ups created by our Designline team in VIC that enabled dialogue with everyone involved. Creating a mock-up although it doesn’t have any print is a key step in any major print project and can save a lot of time and ensure the end product is exactly what you want.

SD_5

One of the specific technical challenges presented, was the unique bind which creates both an interesting aesthetic experience and is also unusual in placing the index containing the details of the featured photographers in the middle of the book. The bind solution was developed by Ian Leckie, operations manager at The Bindery.

SD_1

The slipcase (1) uses Colorplan Cool Grey 270gsm stock which has been custom diecut, folded and hand-glued, then duplex laminated to Colorplan Pristine White 270gsm. The embellishment across the slipcase features foiling by Avon Graphics with an API Foil (2004 / CL Clear Rainbow).

SD_4

The bind design (2 + 3) uses a unique concertina fold to connect the two sections of the book together. The cover uses 350gsm Colorplan Cool Grey stock, on which a range of tactile embellishments have been employed including a multi-level emboss using a hand-carved sculpted die on the front cover (3), and on the back cover (4) a blind press using a foil stamping die without the counter die.

The inside front and back cover (5 & 6) use an API Foil (2004 / CL Clear Rainbow), and the spines and concertina fold (7) employ a blind deboss and foil. The index (8) is cleverly positioned at the centre of the book to make maximum use of the extra real-estate allowed by the open concertina fold, and was foiled using a blue metallic foil.

SD_3

> The internal text pages of The Sub Divide were printed by the team at Bambra Press in CMYK, using Pacifica Inks throughout, on a Heidelberg XL75 12P
+ Aqueous Coater using Fuji Film CTP Processless Plates. Various screen rulings (specifically developed by Bambra Press) were selected to ensure the best possible result across each section of the book.

After 15 months of development from concept to production, The Sub Divide was officially launched in October 2016. A testament to the quality of the finished product, Grosz Co. Lab were recipients of a gold medal in the Print/Design Category at the recent 34th Annual National Print Awards.

The Sub Divide featured photographers

The Sub Divide features the work of 30 highly regarded Australian photographers. Published together for the first time, the photographers responded to catergorisations divided into two groupings. The first, a commercial response to ‘people’, ‘place’ and ‘pieces’. And the second category was a response to ‘passion’, exploring the photographer’s personal connection, depicted through their lens.

Opus on Hutt St by Black Sheep Advertising

We love this marketing suite for OPUS on Hutt Apartments. Designed by Black Sheep Advertising in Adelaide for their client Proton Developments, the brochure emanates quality attention to detail and the business cards are just class.

OPUS (which means masterpiece), is a premium apartment development in the Adelaide CBD offering larger than usual apartments. Most places currently on the property market are substantially smaller in comparison. Plus, OPUS boasts all the dreamy bells and whistles like innovative integrated technology, premium finishings and fittings and a modern layout. Yes, we want to move in too. Get in line!

Creating a printed piece that stands out from the crowd is no mean feat. It practically has to yell your name and buy you a coffee to get your attention. Black Sheep Advertising have designed a clever marketing suite that is next level and reflects OPUS’s unique inner city living offering.

The burst bound brochure, printed on Knight Smooth, is over-sized and has a deliberate coffee table book feel. Black Sheep Advertising shares: “It was important to have print as part of our execution. Firstly, a functional reason – when people are looking to buy into a development it is important to be able to provide them with something to take home and return to multiple times.” The brochure’s dust jacket is treated with an all over soft touch Plasticoate laminate (it literally feels like it sounds) and a swish copper foil for the logo to add extra wow. The textures and colours throughout the brochure pick up on the architectural colour palette of the build.

The stationery and business cards are also printed on Knight Smooth. Again, the soft touch Plasticoate laminate and copper foil feature on the business card. Black Sheep mentioned to us: “When you hold the business card or the brochure in your hand, you can tell the project is one of quality and that sense is left with you after you put it down again.”

Two rad jobs from Mildred & Duck

Two person design studio in Melbourne, Mildred & Duck, punch way above their small team weight. The team being Daniel Smith and Sigiriya Brown. Their branding job for Delores Butterball posted below, we recently featured in the ‘Snippets’ section of Spot, our first ever print publication. Speak to your paper specialist for a copy. And in the meantime, check out more of their awesome work on Instagram.

Title: Unfurl
Stocks: Curious Collection Skin Stone 270gsm, Knight Smooth Digital – Indigo White 160gsm, and Grange Tinted Bond Pink 80gsm
Print specs: Black metallic foil + CMYK
Printed by: Ellikon
Photography: Mark Lobo of Foliolio

The ‘Unfurl’ publication showcases the work of RMIT’s Visual Arts graduates. The publication was designed to unify the diverse range of works created across different disciplines. Mildred & Duck used a consistent grid structure to create a cohesive experience, and allowing for easy navigation. Housed within an understated black-foil exterior, the publication reveals a playful pink section containing the text pages.

Delores Butterball is a small batch baked goods stall serving cakes and cookies across Melbourne. Mildred & Duck created a visual identity for Delores Butterball that is bold and confident and can be easily applied to boxes and bags as needed without losing legibility. The oversized business card doubles as a with comps slip, with raised verko printing that looks like the texture of icing. Yum!

A raised or ‘multi-level’ emboss is next level

In our latest Knight campaign, we used a variety of print techniques. One of the most simple is the multi level or ‘raised’ emboss. A slightly different take on your standard emboss technique.
What is a raised emboss?

A raised or multi level emboss means the image or type area is raised to multiple levels to create a 3D type effect and in this case, with different depths.

What other kinds of embossing are there?
There is also blind embossing where you emboss the paper and leave it ‘as is’. The other option is to fill the indentation with ink or foil. You can also sculpt the die to have a bevelled edge which looks really good.

So it’s not a deboss?
That’s right, it’s not. A deboss means the surface is depressed instead of a raised impression which is what happens with embossing. So you inprint the image or type by pushing it into the paper (with embossing the impression is made from underneath).

Is it an expensive embellishment technique?
It can be pricey, depending on the area you want to embellish. The money is in the block that is made. So sometimes, if it suits the project, you’d get one block made and use it across different stationery items.

Is there anything I should avoid?
Make sure you allow for space in your design and also type, particularly with type because when your design is pressed into the paper, it will naturally appear closer together. For multi-level embossing use colour codes in your artwork to indicate various levels. Always best to speak to your printer before you deliver the files and find out how best to set them up. Also let them know what paper you are using.

Does it work better on some papers compared to others?
Long fibred papers don’t lend themselves too well to embossing but really, you can do it on both coated and uncoated paper with different results depending on the gsm, whether it’s textured etc. For example, an emboss may not turn out as deep on an coated paper due to a few things like the coating, but it still looks good. We used Knight Smooth Cream 250gsm in our promo and it worked a treat.

Do most printers do this type of work?
Some printers offer this service and usually, it’s the services of an embellisher you would seek. We used Avon in VIC in the case of the Knight promo. Call your paper specialist for the heads up on embellishers in your area.

Bijou property book by Hoyne (NSW)

Title: Bijou.
Agency:
 Hoyne (NSW). 
Stocks:
 Keaykolour Black 300gsm (cover) Keaykolour Ultra White 170gsm (text).
Printing specs: High Build Spot UV on the entire outer and inner cover + copper foil logo on front/back
Print managed by: Green & Gold.

With the boom in property development seeing no sign of slowing down just yet, we bring you yet another stunning piece by Hoyne in NSW for the Bijou development. Led by developer MADE and SJB interiors, the former Bijou Theatre in Balmain is being adapted to create 29 apartments that will exude style and panache.

The whole of Balmain exudes a feeling of nostalgia and charm with its colonial sandstone buildings, Victorian institutions and small workers cottages set among leafy streets. The Bijou itself is a robust art deco building well recognised by locals.

The entire brand identity developed by Hoyne references the art deco heritage of the building in a contemporary style. And the campaign features a script reminiscent of retro movie credits and theatre posters that points to the building’s past life as a theatre and cinema. What’s old is new again.

Hoyne chose Keaykolour Original mainly for its texture. As Leesa from Hoyne adds: “This project was all about the art deco influences, so we wanted a paper that felt vintage but lush.” It’s a great pairing and another fabulous example of how the right paper complements the design.

We really do see a lot of property pieces come across our desk and it’s great to see considered pieces like this one. Some simple embellishments, great design, print and paper choices has set this piece apart from others we’ve had come across our desk. Kudos.

David Lancashire x Doggett

Designer: David Lancashire VIC. 
Stock: 
Wild 450gsm (invite) and Wild 150gsm (envelope).
Printing specs: Blind emboss, foil and letterpress.
Printed by: Watermarx Graphics (blind emboss, foil and letterpress). Envelope printed by Social Printing. Both in NSW.

This story comes in two parts and is really, mainly, about the great man himself David Lancashire. Not only can we thank David for the doggie branding he created in the 90s waaaay back when MC Hammer pants were cool and bum bags were an accessory of choice, he also custom illustrated our Christmas card this year. Being our 40th year in the paper biz, we thought it fitting David designed our Christmas card.

Each pooch represents one of the Doggett’s that work in the business today. Ken (Director), John (Director), Simon (Managing Director), Nathan (National Sales Manager), Heath (Sales Manager, Victoria) and Catherine (National Marketing and Sustainability Manager) holding the star.

We used Wild for the card, a 35% cotton paper combining softness with strength, a luxurious feel and very high bulk. The 450gsm card is printed with a blind emboss and foil on the front, letterpress on the inside. The 150gsm envelope features a blind emboss of ‘poodle and fatty’ (more of our doggie branding). Embellishments and Wild go together like brandy sauce and Christmas pudding (cue tummy grumbling).

 

Xmas-2015_1

Xmas-2015_3

A conversation with David:
We wanted to celebrate David’s history and career too, so we sat down and had a bit of a chin wag. Here’s how it all started…

A young David Lancashire came to Australia as an 18 year old 10£ pom in search of sun and adventure. At first he found work on the factory floor and production line of Weyland Motors. Hardly adventurous for him! David soon realised that he was not cut out for such a repetitive job and after two long weeks quit in search of something ‘creative and stimulating’. He found his way to Claret St Studio, in Vogue House in Sydney. He stayed there for a few years before a driving trip back from Adelaide saw him pass through Melbourne. He decided Melbourne was a pretty good place to try. He drove in his Land Rover straight from Sydney to the doors of Art Associates, brushed off his folio and walked in and asked for a job. He started that day.

DLD_5

Flash forward 10 years and David started his own studio and began working for lots of big names including Spicers and Daltons paper. Ken Doggett saw the great work David had been doing and approached him to revamp the Doggett branding. At first David said no due to a conflict of interest! But Ken persisted and David eventually came around to see the potential.

He pitched the idea that our funny name should be highlighted to create a memorable campaign. Ken and now John were NOT keen. Names like dogs body, dogs s**t were commonly thrown around at school and they didn’t plan to bring more attention to it. But David presented the concept of ‘Doggett’s take the lead’ and illustrated our first dog. It was a big hit with the staff and customers and from there the concept took off.

DLD_Dog

The purple, green and orange corporate colours came next. “The other merchants all had very traditional branding, Doggett’s were the new kid on the block and we needed to stand out. Purple certainly did that!” said David.

“The swatch kit came next, based around the theme of ‘the dog ate my shoe’ with each one representing the different papers. We sourced some great old shoes from the powerhouse museum and included even some of my families old shoe.”

And of course there’s the 266 PMS purple iconic doggie trucks. We thank our lucky stars that David pitched the idea to wrap our trucks and often when we tell people where we work they say: “Oh you work at that place with the purple trucks.” They’re hard to miss!

Doggett-truck

That’s a wrap. Thanks to everyone for your continued support in 2015 and we wish you a joyful and festive summer.

Ho, ho, ho and woof!
Love us.

McKellar X Doggett for #themakeproject

We always say it’s not about our paper, it’s what you do with it. And you’ve got to admit, this is a pretty rad example of taking paper and making it pop. The project concept itself is also pretty damn rad. McKellar Renown Press have been running The Make Project for a while now, each month releasing a new print piece that showcases design, print/embellishments and paper, direct to people’s mail box. Yes, that’s right. a DM piece. Who would have thunk it in this ‘digital age’.

MK-2

The offset printed combo is Knight Smooth White 400gsm on the outer with Pop’Set Cosmo Pink 320gsm in the middle. We love the Kate Pullen Draws illustration and the hint of gold foil bling. It doesn’t take a lot to just print something, but it does take the attention and skills of a printer who cares, to make a piece look this good. We’re loving the installments of #themakeproject so keep em coming McKellar Renown!

One flick through its pages and you’ll be wanting to deck-out your bedroom in their beautiful, sumptuous bed linen which includes throws, pillow cases, sheets and duvet covers.

Bailey-2

Hoyne Design did a stellar job of creating the catalogue using subtle, beautiful details like the satin material tag on the spine, embellishments and use of textured and glossy papers. It makes flicking throug the catalogue a really interesting, tactile experience and tunes into the right senses. The enviable list of embellishments include a clear gloss foil, black gloss foil, spot gloss UV, embossing, die cutting and laser cutting. It’s no wonder they were nominated as an AGDA Award finalist (Design Craft category) this year. The cover is printed on Curious Matter Goya White 270gsm plus Sovereign A2 – Silk 270gsm and Strathmore Premium Enhance Ultimate White 118gsm for the text. 

The Bailey brand has quite a story to tell too. A bespoke bedding manufacturer, they partner with top craftspeople from around the globe to create their collections. To produce Bailey’s Belgian linen for example, they worked with masters of linen – who move the flax into the factories, make the yarn and undertake the finishing. Italian weavers from the historic milling town of Biella are chosen for their reputation in producing high quality wools and yarns. Mills nestled in the north east of Scotland produce Bailey’s cashmere throws. If you like the sound of this, visit their site for more juice. It’s a pretty amazing story.
