presentation,
manifesto,
demonstration of possibilities when you combine proper thinking with creativity and technology,
and everything points out that it’s project, that I was preparing myself for past 15 years with my knowledge and experience

By signing up, during first week of September you will receive sheet manufactured specially and just for you. It will be in unique form, made like anything else. Period.
If impression will be strong enough there will be one more at the verge of September and October. But that’s entirely up to you. That one will have story behind one of more interesting printing projects from idea util final execution.

I’m launching new project. After several talks it appeared that is unique enough on it’s own that several description phrases are not enough.
You can describe anything, until you’ll write down entire encyclopedia.
You can show much more by using just one sheet.

First and foremost because I can and I want to.
I want to show that I can.
I want to.

printer,
designer of concepts and solutions

A dreamer that instead of keeping to his dreams changed them to goals and aims for them. Only the question is: is more important at this stage who am I or what I’m doing?

For everybody that have close contact with printed materials directly or indirectly. For professionals in printing industry both print house owners and technologists. I’m working for brand and product managers, art directors and people in charge of shaping ad campaign visions. For art patrons: from museums through galleries to publishers of old prints reproductions.
Basically – for everyone where printing quality and form of communication has significant value.

creative people,
people of art,
ones that point directions,
looking at both sides of a sheet…
…often at the edges as well,
enthusiasts and aesthetes

It starts with a piece of paper. It always do.
Sketch with action plan draft.

Every project has it’s beginning. Usually there are two of them. One in my head, without identified timestamp. Second heavily placed in reality. We start with piece of paper or standing in front of a whiteboard. Perhaps drawing board? Or a computer with newly created design. That moment always has it’s similarities and it’s divided in half: computer & printing press. Lately sometimes: computer & cutting table.

Right choice of media.
From now on I know what I’ll be working with.
I define color gamut, imaging solutions, size and technology.

Early stage digital design.
Often it’s just number of graphical elements pure for test purpose to confirm whether theory matches reality.

What’s the difference between theory and reality?
Theoretically none.
The most interesting moments are when color is purely abstract and you cannot describe it mathematically or visualise on your screen. You have this idea in your head and not necessarily it matches with first print. And then the colorful dance begins…

Design and graphics.

Execution.
Not just giving it away for printing…
Preparation of printing press according to expectations. Checking again and again all details with most diversified pages. Then supervision of whole volume. Not a coffee and a chick chat. Evaluation and control of whole process.

Each production requires a lot of commitment and from various parties. Often even those small gestures matters. Those big ones goes without saying. For me each and every, ever little smile was at stake and thank you so much for it. Below I wanted to thank those who’s input was at most important: HP (long list names), Digiprint (Jarosław Smakosz and Jarosław Woch) and Felix Shoeller (Jens Brockschmidt and Christina Krawczenko). THANK YOU!

Campaign was done on Felix Shoeller E-Photo Metallics 210g.
