Shout It From the Rooftop!

For the past six years, we have had the honor of designing the Summer Program Guide for Rooftop Films. Each year, we've kept the grid, layout and styles consistent. But this year we changed it up by making the guide much smaller.

We had to translate the same fonts and blocky, flexible grid system to a much smaller template. To allow more breathing room on our smaller pages, we cut the content on each program page down as much as possible. Keeping only the most necessary bits of information, meant giving more weight to what is most important and removing content clutter. And in order to give our smaller newsletter size pages as much visual punch as the big newspaper size we added color.

See you on the rooftop!

Our collaboration with proprietor M. Martell of the McKittrick Hotel has been fruitful indeed. We've been busy adapting the set of playing cards we designed for the McKittrick's special events to produce an ongoing series of Limited Edition prints for sale in the hotel's online giftshop.

Illustrated, designed and letterpress printed in house, these prints allowed us to apply the full range of our skills.

Stay tuned for more royal characters coming soon! Currently in the pipeline are an Ace of Diamonds and a King of Hearts. Here's a sneak peek...
