Bad news about the coasters / Home by the sea

perso / january 26th 2012 /11:10 AM from Fontvielle - near Arles / Editors

 

Every day brings his set of good and bad news... I get this message from Marek, who is my partner/printer : My machine broke last week, I do not answer any mail cause I am sitting all time in a studio and trying to fix it. We are waiting for a spare parts from Germany but it takes at least 3 weeks, I am trying to repare it here but there are not services for such machines in Poland. The worst is that costers 2/3/4 are ready, it is just the coaster 1 which is printed but there is nothing to cut them!!!
I did these coasters as a bonus for people who pre-order the calendars... as they werre not ready in time, I send the FB one and D&B cards instead... Then, they werre supposed to be ready in the middle of january, so I propose them for calendar order done from January 10th to 18th... I did not plan the broken machine ! So, I won't wait and this week I will send the calendars ordered since january 10th.

If you want these coasters, please email me your order number (for orders done from November 15th to December 25th or january 10th to 18th) and I will send them when they are ready ! If you want them and do not order the calendar at these dates, please contact me too.

The calendar is still available at www.letterpress-calendar.com

 

Last week, we housed in an apartment that is only used during the summer holidays by my family, located on the beach, near Sète. No internet, but walks on the beach in winter inspire me more than any blog! We now move to another location but cam back here soon.

Today I am in Nîmes ;) When I was at my friend place last week I met Guillaume Maguet, and I was amazed by his painting work. Of course, it looks so much better in real, it is deep, texture absorbs you into the paint...

No home, new life

/ january 18th 2012 /11:12 PM

For someone who love home decoration, who sell wall stickers and decorative objects, it is a strange feeling to have no home anymore ;) Last week, we put everything in rentale place, and leave our nice home in the vinyard... It was hard to organize everything... My office looks less beautiful like this ;) One of our cat is ready to go...

After that, I went to visit my friend Thomas to work on the new tools for his project : www.lapenseesauvage.com. This place is amazing... I took this quick iphone pictures...

La penséee sauvage is a project I work on since 2006 if I well remember... I took several pictures, and we are now working on the 2012 presentation. My friends and his team propose amazing relaxing weeks, to help you to detox your body and took relaxing time with massages, and spa... A nice place too work...

The coasters...


Graphic-ExchanGE - a selection of graphic projects 11 Jan 2012, 4:15 am CET

The coasters...

/ january 11th 2012 /2:15 AM / Hans Zimmer Sherlock Holmes 2 soundtrack

It is almost 2:15 am, I am tired, but Marek send me the pictures of the new coasters, so I can't wait to share them with you...it is a 4 coasters set, round this time, no picture of the "1" as it is not ready... Each coasters is printed with a warm grey, from clear to darker...

My first idea was to send them for the pre-orders of the , but as they werre longer to produce, it would have over delay the calendar delivery... Instead I sent the FB coasters & D&B card, BUT, if you order the calendar before december 25th and want them, please send me an email at ecrire(a)fabienbarral(dot)com with your order number + delivery adress to get a set.

And, I will also send a set for any order done between today, january 11th and next wednesday 18th (but it means you will have to wait a little as I do not have them yet...). Added of the special cuppon reserved to readers (entrer the coupon "graphicexchange" to get a 5€ discount), what are you waitting for ?

I want, for these coasters, to have the numbers and design to stand out by printing the background and have the design in white... And I am really please of the result (even if I am impatient to have them in hands). A lot of people asked me about the wodden stamp... Have to said I ask a stamp maker in Nîmes to do it, and it is not any online service... And I am not sure this guy could sell one to you ;) ... The craziest is that he has a letterpress printer in his small shop and told me he does not use it to print, it is too complicate ! I show him the calendar and his reaction was "oh my god, it must me so long to print"... I guess he made more money with car licence plates...

I want to thanks all the nice articles about the project : - Peleg top (I talk about graphic language, he talk about marketing language, but at the end, we speak the same language ;) - Pepernstitch to have put it as daily pick, calendar selection, and to highlight several Harmonie interieure products these past weeks, - beautiful hello blog, et pour les français, ce super post sur le carnet et la selection des calendriers de la cuisine du graphiste.

Old Car Dealerships


Art / Design / Fashion / Photography 10 Jan 2012, 11:42 am CET

Old photos are fascinating. Old photos that contain old cars are even better, for me at least. This Flickr set adds another facet of intrigue: old photos containing old cars, in old car dealerships. They are all from 50s and 60s America where subtly hadn’t yet been invented. Red and white stripy buildings, chandeliers, neon signs and huge lettering were de rigueur.

Love Locks


ceayres.com 8 Jan 2012, 3:21 pm CET

From Millennium to Eternity

A photographic record of every love lock on the Millennium Bridge in London on the 22nd of July 2011.

Love locks, also known as love padlocks, are in Europe at least a recent tradition emerging in the early 2000’s where two lovers affix a padlock to a public structure to symbolise their everlasting love. In the case of locks being attached to a bridge the key is then thrown into the waters below. The origins of the modern tradition are uncertain with an older Chinese one being often cited but uncorroborated. In many cases the local traditions are also a mystery and seemingly spontaneous including the Millennium Bridge padlocks. In one case though, the Ponte Milvio in Rome, the popularity can be traced to the book I Want You by Federico Mocci.

Each lock on the bridge snaps shut to secure and seal an emotion to a location and time, they bind the participants to a physical location and an emotional bond, a part of their biography shared and sealed forever in time and space. Whatever happens their past and future are bound by the lock to that spot and by emotion to that person, through the physical act of snapping a lock shut forever.

This book too is a moment in time locked to a location, this is all of those people and all those emotions locked together forever, recorded on the 22nd of July 2011…

…or until the bolt cutters come.

Between 2 boxes (why do I buy so much design books and home decoration magazine !!!), I found time to shoot the calendar in details... And as without you this project would not be possible, dear readers, I have an (other) special gift. Entrer the coupon "graphicexchange" to get a 5€ discount... I write it in small, to be sure only readers, not "whatchers" can enjoy it ;)

The Arrow of Indecision


Art / Design / Fashion / Photography 5 Jan 2012, 11:12 am CET

In 1964 the Design Research Unit, Britain’s first multi-disciplinary design agency were commissioned to breathe new life into the nation’s neglected railway industry.

Doublearrow has a wealth of information on the identity of British Rail including most the pages from the colossal Corporate Identity Manual.

Really lovely stuff.

I write it in small, to be sure only readers, not "whatchers" can enjoy it ;) One of new thing for this year will be bigger images too. I used to have them at 800px, now, when possible, I will present them at 900... I also update my site www.fabienbarral.com with the project and also with the Excelsior latin identity done last year... and I put them on behance... now I can sleep !

I have to said, you need imagination to work in letterpress. Final print is so specific that you have think in relief. For exemple, for the little rounds with the month, I am really please how it stand out...

Thanks a lot for all the nice feedback after the post about my 2012 projects... And, as it seems to scare a lot of people, even if I will manage only one site under the Mr-Cup name soon, all the archives of graphic-exchange will stay available...

I am pleased that this Brad Surcey project is the first to be presented here is the new images of the SPRUCE identity by Brand Surcey... I know it was inspired by one of my images, and this is the exact definition of inspiration : when it brings you a magical emotion that make you create something special !
