2011 Studio On Fire Letterpress Calendar

By Studio On Fire

The Idea

The Studio On Fire Letterpress Calendar is a favorite project in our shop for nearly ten years. Itﾒs been worked on by many contributors from all over the world. Each year Studio On Fire puts together a loose theme, color palette and paper choices, then we invite 5 other designers / illustrators to participate. We design 2 months, and each contributor designs 2 months. Its always nice to have a large cross section of stylistic approaches within a little package that sits on your desktop.

Delivery of Work

The calendar is letterpress printed in four colors all together on a large 26 x 20 size press sheet. It is trimmed down into 12 months on 3.25 x 5 inch cards. We design the tri fold outer wrap using bits and pieces of each months design, all mashed together and printed in a long strip. Calendars are mailed to past and potential clients, as well as available for purchase in our online store.

The Results

As our own client, we were obviously thrilled! In all seriousness, we were also featured on several blogs, publications and (even better) are featured live on hundreds of desktops all around the globe.
