Reservoir Press Thinks Outside the Card

In its continuing effort to push design in letterpress, the team at Reservoir Press went beyond the typical geometry for a wedding invite. Looking to stand out, this invite literally pops off the page.

Once again collaborating with Brooklyn-based artist, Lis Timpone, our press worked to find a technical solution that would take this beautiful design to another dimension. At Reservoir we always strive to work with fresh ideas, so that our work will really stand out. This way our clients always walk away with a design that is unique to them.

A 12-Color Print for a Destination Wedding

The team at Reservoir worked to create a totally unique and different Save-the-Date card for a couple who were travelling to Ravello, Italy for their wedding. The idea was to create a travel poster styled after the Art Deco posters of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The result was a 12-color card that blended silkscreen and letterpress. The landscape was silkscreened to take advantage of the medium's ability to print areas of color vibrantly and evenly, while the buildings were letterpressed to not only give them texture, but make them pop off the page as well.

Reservoir will spare no effort and will take on any technical challenge to meet its clients unique needs.

A Plantation Wedding

Reservoir Press was ready to brainstorm with this client to help form a vision of what the invitation package would look like, and then created Save-the-Date, Invitation, and RSVP cards that realized their vision. Each card was meticulously designed to work together as a group of images and yet allow each to have a distinctive quality. What truly marks this project as special is the attention to the details that relate to the location of the wedding. All aspects of the design work to evoke the plantation elegance of the wedding's site, as well as recall an old world style that is truly American.

The design team at Reservoir Press works diligently to make certain that each job is a reflection not only of the client's wishes, but also a body of work that each client can claim is unique to them.

A Traditional Wedding with a Personal Touch

After searching online in vain for a wedding invitation that would be both personal and of the highest quality, Ms. Beyene came to Reservoir Press. We worked with her to produce the look that she wanted, but on a paper that was rich in texture and by a printing technique that has a distinctive old world style. The end result was a complete wedding package that not only had a unity of design, but that was crafted by hand with the greatest care and individualized attention.

Personalizing the Wedding Announcement

After looking around in vain for a wedding invite, our client came to Reservoir Press looking for a design that would be truly personal. This artistically inclined couple loved to kayak together, and decided that they wanted that activity so meaningful and special to them to be present in their invite. Looking to old maps, a design was made that represented the spot on the Delaware River where they lived out their dreams. By having it letterpressed through Reservoir they also told their friends that this occasion was as unique as their love.

Designed in this case largely by the client, the team at Reservoir Press worked hard to make sure that this part of their dream was made a reality.
