(Poster and custom Scout Books by Ryan Bush)
Friends of Graphic Design is pleased to announce that Pinball Publishing will kick of this year's Studio Tour Series! Pinball Publishing is committed to providing high quality, environmentally responsible printing, and continues to produce innovative and creative letterpress publications from their local shop in SE Portland. Did we mention they're the creators of Scout Books (A designers best friend) ?!
Here's some of the basics, straight from the horse's mouth!
What kind of printing does Pinball offer?
We specialize in custom offset printing—that means we offer spot color printing as well as 4-color process printing. We offer a wide range of fun print items, with a focus on sustainable stationery, high-impact promotional materials, and creative booklet options. We are also a "green" shop with a specially picked selection of in-house/stocked recycled papers and soy-based inks.
How did the shop start?
Pinball Publishing grew out of the owners Laura and Austin's desire to be involved in their own design projects from conception to final printed manifestation. In the search for a quality offset printing vendor, it became clear that:
- Design sensitive, sustainably minded printing facilities are few and far between.
- The personal service and understanding of a project were all but missing.
- The enthusiasm for the magic of printing had vanished.
We took this as a challenge to provide custom offset print options with a focus on understanding our clients' vision in an enthusiastic, design sensitive environment where novice to professional can purchase the highest level of quality with the best service in the industry.
If you've never been to a Studio Tour before, here's the low down on how it works: a sign-up post will be launched here on the FOGD Blog at 9am this Friday (1/28). Space is limited to 20 people , and sign-up is on a first-come-first-serve basis- so set your alarms! You won't want to miss this.
GET PUMPED!
