Hasta La Ideas

The Letterpress Sampler and Matchbox Labels exhibition will be on display for another First Thursday next week if you’d like to stop by in person. In the meantime, if you wanted to enter the giveaway for the Letterpress Sampler, I will be drawing from our current subscribers as well as new subscribers at the end of February. Subscribe or renew today!

Speaking of letterpress, check out this AWESOME app in development for the iPad and other platforms. Glen and I were discussing this very concept of a virtual letterpress on an iPad and it looks like these folks have already been working on the idea, and most impressively!

Here’s a teaser of some of the cereal box designs I’ve received. Keep them coming! The deadline is February 20. More details below and on our participate page.

Issue 9 (spring) explores how food inspires creativity. For this open call, you are invited to submit your cereal box designs and illustrations! Are you a fan of the sugary sweet cartoon-character puffs? Or perhaps a grown-up granola inspires a more typographic solution? You can redesign an existing cereal box or feel free to come up with a new name and concept for your cereal.

I plan on making mockups of the best submissions and photographing them for inclusion in the magazine. Please download a template (illustrator file or pdf file) and design the front, side and top flap. Files should be submitted as 300dpi jpgs or pdfs and named with your last name. Please include your full name, address and email in the design file. Files can be uploaded here.

DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 20
