Print Design
Overview
Ah, print design. Sometimes we forget it exists, given how digital everything is today. But alas, nothing beats the tactile nature of good, old-fashioned print design. This page is a tribute to the print design I've done over the years. Need a poster? Maybe a flyer? Then get in touch and let's put something together!

Background
I kind of love designing for print. Back in the day, I really dragged my feet about getting into digital design. I love posters, packaging, and everything in between. Also, there's something really liberating about the self-contained nature of a flyer. Especially if it's a one-off attention grabber... no component libraries to reckon with, no Figma styles and variables... just a blank canvas and unlimited possibilities.
The Challenge
In my opinion, the most difficult aspect of print design is anticipating difference in output versus the on-screen preview. There's a reduction in brightness that needs to be accounted for, the paper weight and consistency play a significant role, and design flares such as gradients may or may not present they way you intend. With that being said, there's a certain joy that accompanies seeing your design come to life in the real world... and that's the beauty of print.
