Oakleaf and Acorn Hang Tags

We were asked by the Oakleaf and Acorn, a wonderful men’s clothing and accessory store based out of Braselton, Georgia to create two hang tags for their store. John, the owner wanted a design that reflected the rustic, yet high quality that all of his products possess. We came up with designs for an ax head and a bottle of whiskey. The tags are two color screen prints on chipboard. We think that the slightly worn textured of the printing combined with the natural imperfections in chipboard represents the hand made aesthetic of everything in his store.

Wedding album Design by Ross Clodfelter and Shane Cranford

Designer Ross Clodfelter, half of Device Print Shop (previously covered here) and Shane Cranford, sent over this unique and beautifully designed wedding album that he did for F5 Photography. Not wanting to stay with the traditional, templated albums that are oh so common, Ross set out to do something a bit different, and the results are stunning. They designed a hardboard case that was laser etched to look like naturally aged wood. Then a label was designed, letterpress printed and adhered to the cover. The spreads were laid out with graphics, copy and textural photos using gloss varnishes and metallic screen printing overlays to help set the mood.

Much more behind the cut.

Vintage Inspiration

We’ve been experimenting with designs inspired by vintage packaging and typography. Over the last few months we’ve collected images from around the web. Aside from the excellent resource Grain Edit, which profiles both modern, vintage inspired, design well as actual vintage design, The Product Manual Archive, as well as Flickr are great resources. Below are a few of the jewels that we’ve come across.

Found on Product Manual Archive

I love the patina that forms on some of these items over the years, the wear and tear almost become design elements themselves.

More inspiration lies behind the cut.
