Schlage came to SMS for a creative display that promoted their unique new product line, Schlage LiNK. The display needed to be versatile to allow it to be used in both inline and endcap settings. SMS created an eye-catching display that was completely modular allowing the client to use the display in multiple settings, with common parts-saving money and simplifying in store-processes. SMS designed a spinner unlike anything the lock aisle has ever seen, with a unique shape, second-surface acrylic graphics, and pullout panel inserts to educate consumers about product use. The display was inspired by a more European feel, taking a fresh, modern approach and veering away from the traditional wooden mounts. The display also features a 3 push button LCD explaining features and benefits of this exciting new product as well as a hidden button on the display that functions as a training video for store employees.

Luke Ramsey is awesome. He creates beautiful, intricate pieces of artwork that include zines, murals, paintings and prints. He also runs Islands Fold, an independent publisher and artist residency in B.C., Canada.

 

We ran into Luke last summer at the Portland Zine Symposium, and saw him sketching in a Scout Book! Quickly gave him another, and within weeks he had filled it up and sent us images. At long last, here is what the fantastic Luke Ramsey did with the 32 grid pages of a Scout Book.

 

Awesome! Thanks, Luke.

Julianna Swaney makes beautiful, mythical illustrations that are composed of equal parts softness, intricacy and mystery. Much of her work is bursting with delicate washes of color, yet this Scout Book is a perfect example of how striking a single-color illustration can be! Julianna's delicate lines and pencil strokes shine through when printed in Scout Book blue.

Redscout helps brands realize their potential. These limited-edition notebooks were printed in two Pantone soy-based ink colors on 100% recycled chipboard, and feature grid interiors on Dur-o-tone aged Newsprint text weight paper.

Letterpress, perfect binding, outerspace: a new MPH release

Perfect Bound Book, 232 pages, 4.25″ x 8″

Exterior: 1/0, Letterpress Printed, Curious Touch Soft Milk 11# Cover

Interior: 1/1, Exact 60# Text Peach and Gray, Pantone soy-based Reflex Blue ink

 

Wallace Cochran writes a creative non-fiction history of the rocket, and Marriage Records‘ publishing imprint MPH has released it in this gorgeous limited-edition book. One half of the band Drakkar Sauna, Cochran’s text lent itself to lyrics for the band’s latest release on Marriage Records.

 

This book was lovingly assembled from two colors of interior text-weight stock and wrapped in a cover letterpress printed by EMprint Press. Design was done by AF Jamison. As much an exploration of publishing as it is of paper and ink, we’re proud to have worked on this specimen of fine printing.

Mia Nolting is a Portland-based artist, illustrator and designer. She filled this Scout Book with page after page of illustration, collage, typography and musings. We're impressed.

 

The Scout Book cover was designed by Bwana Spoons, another Portland-based artist.
