| REVIEW |
| Q
: Please briefly tell us about you, your company, your products and
services: |
| A
: Thank you for this opportunity! My name is Anna Takahashi and I’m an
illustrator, graphic designer and art director working in Los Angeles and Tokyo.
My main field is in fashion, creating whimsical textile patterns and prints for
clothing. In 2013 I started fashion brand JARINKO with my creative partner in
Tokyo which is something I’m quite focused on right now (jarinko.jp) I’ve always
collaborated with clients of different fields, so versatility is my strength.
This year, I’d love to create more print work including storybooks and artisanal
product labels. | |
| Q
: Our business card product are often used for other than the function of a
business card. It appears as if you have created a tag. How did you settle on
the selected stock? |
| A:
This tag was designed for a floral artist who I previously made business cards
for through MorningPrint. The cards were also made with Heavy
Nouveau and it came out beautifully. I was really happy to hear that people
remembered my client through her business card. So for branding consistency, we
decided to create the tags in the same stock, with the same raised-ink finish on the flowers and
logo. | |
| Q
: Most of your orders with MorningPrint are made on “Heavy
Nouveau†What keeps you coming back for the same stock? |
| A:
What I love most about the Heavy Nouveau stock is that the texture and thickness make
for a classy impression with a warm elegance. The price is excellent too: an
important aspect for consumables. | |
| Q
: You created your own custom die cut shapes, please walk us briefly walk us
through your design process: |
| A:
First, a big thank you to Erica at MorningPrint for the support throughout the project! First,
I sent in my design via email with the exact specifications including quantity,
measurements, paper stock and desired finish. The factory must approve the
customization first, so after the approval and quote, I went through the usual
ordering steps on the website: Choose Stock < Upload Complete Design <
specify order details < place order. Until the remainder of the custom quote
is paid, the print job will be put on hold (this will be notified via email with
a special link for rest of the payment.) After payment is complete, you’re all
set. | |
| Q
: Most of the time you use Raised ink, Are you considering any of the any other
finishing options we offer for future orders? |
| A:
I recently used foil-accent for my business card, but press-embossing is a finish I’d really like to work with
since it’s tricky (and a virtue) to utilize the concavo-convex
effect. | |
| Q
: Any tips for our clients to consider when they are creating their own custom
tags? |
| A:
For example, this tag was made to glue-on, insert, or punch a hole if it should
hang. Aside from designing the tag for its utilization purpose, I feel that the
most important step is always to communicate exactly what you want i.e.,
measurements, stock, color and finish. | |
| Q
: How has your experience with MorningPrint been? Did you experience any difficulties when
using the site or find anything to be inconvenient or inefficient? |
| A:
Since the beginning, MorningPrint has always provided excellent service and
products which I keep coming back for. It would be really helpful if I can
review what files I’ve uploaded when I’m placing my order. Currently I can see
all file names in the order history but not in my cart. Otherwise, the website
has been very easy to navigate. I also appreciate seeing other productions on
each product page. | |
| Q
: Any plans for your next project with MorningPrint? |
| A:
Every time I see new finishes and paper options come out I’m excited! I’ve been
wanting to utilize the hole-punching option to create bookmarks. Books are
special objects to me. Maybe I can even create a whole art book using MorningPrint products.
That would be really exciting! | |
