Legion Paper Holiday Ornament

Occasionally clients ask us to curate a designer for a project of theirs, this was one such case. We worked with Legion Paper and Jennet Liaw to produce this print as well as a video piece on the production of it.

If you look closely you'll see that the border card around the die-cut main piece also contains a stand that fits into the globe and makes it stand.

"The brief was very open-ended, which made it great fun for me to design completely from the direction of spotlighting the paper itself, and to play with printing technique choices - this is something clients are often stingy on. With great suggestions from Nick and Hogan, I knew I wanted to apply a foil, as well as make a die cut, so I kept the stroke weight simple and illustrative to balance out those techniques into the clean aesthetic that I personally like.. made extra special for the holidays with sparkle and shine. It seemed counterintuitive at first to use the blackest black to create a card for the holidays, a time usually associated with festive reds and greens, or warmth and earthiness. But it was an opportunity to create a high contrast effect, perfect to show off just how incredibly black Legion's paper was, and how beautifully bright the white/foil that Mama's printing would create. I enjoyed that the final product was a gently alternative take on the holidays - crisp like the wintry air and festive in a clean way." -Jennet Liaw
