A bold use of graphic design brought African-Americans into the 1900 Paris Exposition conversation in a radical new way.

W.E.B du Bois created 60 hand-drawn ‘data portraits’ to humanise their experience, include them in the expo’s showcase of all that was admirable, and counter the narrative that his people needed “civilising”.

His graphics compared data on such things as income, ownership of furniture, industries they work in and contrasted those with the white people living in the state of Georgia.

They revealed how race impacted job opportunities and property ownership, but also highlighted African-American post-emancipation progress in a colonial world and revealed just how closely the two cultures were aligned.

His deliberate choice of bright colours conveyed resilience and hope and also spoke against the negative ways African-Americans were perceived and depicted.

An inspiringly potent use of data and design to activate for social change.

Make mine fun too. Cadbury turned their packaging into successful advertising in this clever campaign.

As well as selling 16.5 million bars in the UK alone and increasing sales by 11.5%, it caused quite the buzz at the Immortal Awards, won for Advertising Copywriting at The Drum Awards, won Grand Prix in Industry Craft at Eurobest, and picked up multiple D&AD Awards.

This highly successful packaging-focused idea applauded those everyday acts of kindness we all share. The striking wrapping was for a limited-edition, bigger size bar that suggested how those acts can be shared out.

We love its real-people moment in an industry that can sometimes feel impersonal. In an interview with Little Black Book, designer Gethin James of agency VCCP said, “Advertising is distant; packaging is intimate”.

This gorgeous example of dedication to craftsmanship and old-school quality was created using 23 separate processes including laser etching, several variations of letterpress and custom finishes.

Each poster was hand fed multiple times through the large format printer to build the design’s layers that give it such depth and richness.

Using only three colours, the designer used a dotted technique to create a shadow effect that makes each line stand out and give each one equal attention even though there are many lines that all overlap.

We’re super impressed with the quality and the end result. It's difficult to convey the scale and complexity of this fabulous letterpress poster in a video screen grab. You'll get more of an idea of how masterful this is watching them print it, here: https://vimeo.com/575715409.

Here’s someone who loves paper almost as much as we do.

Animator Julian Curi, aka Righteous Robot, has nearly completed his new stop-motion short film made by hand from paper, with some metal here and there for structure.

The result is a beautifully engaging fantasy that takes you right back to childhood stories of adventure and courage with a moral tale about destiny and consequence.

“With ‘Knight and the Snail’, I want to explore my pull toward destiny against the push of modern life. I want to make the kind of film I wish I saw when I was younger. The kind of story that says ‘you aren’t what you wish for, you’re what you do to get it.’”

In this video, Curi shows the steps in creating his unique techniques and gives you a glimpse of what to expect when the film comes out on YouTube next month.

Paper’s tactile qualities speak of the person behind the appeal. With AI booming, people are responding more and more to the human touch and craving the quality that true craftsmanship brings.

Texture can make print products more memorable.

Your customers see, touch and physically interact with the material before they’ve even read a word. A touch of raised ink, UV varnishing, matte or velvet laminate can prompt your clients to take notice in ways digital media never can.

Glide Print know all about textures, special finishes and clever ways to make your print products stand out from the sea of information.

And all within your budget too.

Higher ROI | More customer engagement | Better brand promotion

We just love a bit of gold foil. It makes everything look so classy.

McLaren Vale w**ery, Scarpantoni, agrees. With a history going back to 1958, they were keen for a branding refresh to honour their heritage and preserve recognition but elevate the previous look.

To do this they chose gold foil detailing and a chisel emboss to lift the elements they want to highlight and also create a tactile experience when handling the bottle.

Their designer chose Manter Brillante White Felt from Spicers - a premium, chlorine-free, felt-marked label paper designed for excellent adhesion with a natural felt texture and high print capabilities so the labels will still look fabulous even after soaking
in ice.

Nothing touches like print.

Engineering, natural disasters and origami don’t immediately suggest a connection, but 14-year-old Miles Yu has found one.

While exploring the problem of housing displaced people, Miles wondered if the repeating patterns of parallelograms in the origami pattern called miura-ori could create a lightweight, portable shelter.

250 hours of trial and error later and he found the paper stock and angle with the strongest weight-to-strength ratio that would hold 10,000 times its own weight.

“I want to keep exploring and playing with origami so I can continue to discover all the possibilities a single piece of paper can hold,” he said.

His experiment won him the US Society for Science’s most prestigious middle school STEM competition.
