The stationery suite for John Rice comprises a die-cut business card, comps slip & brochure, plus an A6 booklet with beautiful images and accompanying text about falling in love & all that fuzzy stuff. The booklets were edge-sewn for a handmade touch. All printed painstakingly by the fellows at Pilpel Print using letterpress & digital printing.

Additions to the OM4 stable of literature… thanks Glenn for letting me loose with the texta illustrations again.

John Rice is the perfect client & a brilliant wedding photographer: talented, entertaining & personable, with a singular eye for artistic photography.

The brief for this job was to present John’s special take on wedding photography: capturing the love between the bride & groom and recording that connection in a photo-journalistic, natural way.

Developing a brand came so easily: just connect the dots between John’s surname, the tradition of throwing rice at weddings, and the suggestion of a camera lens – we had the basis of a brand that conveys the right message without competing with the photographic images. The business cards are letterpress printed, and the lens shape serves as a diecut / viewing window suggesting John’s visual take on the world.

John is opening a second studio in Margaret River, so will be the perfect choice for your Down South wedding if you too feel the magic in his light-painted images.

And alas the Christmas holidays must end. But it was a wonderful time! After our Reader’s Digest Xmas trip to Denmark, I made 2 dresses, kept up the early morning jogging/cycling excursions, watched movies (highlight: “The Skin I Live In” & Pimp My Ride reruns), beach breakfasts, reading Noir Crime short stories, joining-leaving-rejoining Facebook, swimming, shopping, plenty of catnaps, and catching up with friends.

Back to the world of reality and responsibility. Hello 2012!
