art & design: mid-century album & book covers 02.28.2012

>

We’re always suckers for mid-century homes and furniture, but the graphic design of that era is also at the top of our list so we fell head over heels when we stumbled upon New Documents, an etsy shop that specializes in mid-20th century modern album and book covers! Thinking one of these might be a nice addition to a gallery wall, what do you think?

Decorative pillows are a great way to give a burst of energy to  a room without spending a lot. I found myself gravitating towards neutrals and saturated warm colors. There are so many fun graphic and global prints out there right now. Decisions…

Ampersand Design Studio: Signature Series 01.02.2012

>

It’s no secret that we love the ampersand (eh-hem, our business name). It’s just the one simple symbol that can mean as much or as little as you want it to! With one single stroke, the ampersand is the mark  that connects two separate elements. We both have a strong love of typography, so, we were excited to discover that the ampersand is also historically the character that a typographer can use to infuse a little more personality and playfulness into a font. Simply put, it’s the character that gets to have a little more fun! What’s not to love about that?!

Don’t worry fellow-lovers-of-the-ampersand, we’re not trying to claim ownership of the “and” symbol, by any means. We just love it in all it’s different forms, so this is our little tribute to the ampersand!

So, today we are SO EXCITED to announce the official launch of our new Ampersand Signature Series!!

Whether you are a fan of the neon + neutral look, metallics, or the always bold black and white— we’ve got art prints and melamine platters to suit you! (Yes, we’ve gone ampersand crazy over here!)
We did have a few of our new items on the shop a couple of weeks ago, so if you visited then, you might’ve gotten a little sneak peek, but now the full Ampersand Signature Series line is live and here is a little rundown of what you can find! We’ve poured our hearts into these so we really hope you love them!

Neon or Metallic Limited Edition Ampersand Screenprints:
These limited edition 11″ x 14″ prints include ampersands in neon pink, neon yellow, gold or silver on chipboard or pale gray heavy weight paper. We are just obsessed with the way the colors pop off the neutral backgrounds! Each print also has an emboss of our logo and will be numbered in pencil at the bottom right hand corner. We teamed up with the brilliant Vahalla Studios for the screen printing and embossing of this series. Total dream team! We absolutely loved partnering with them!
These truly are limited edition, we just have 50 of each colorway—so you better scoop these up fast! 
• Ampersand Screen Print – Neon Pink (11″ x 14″)
• Ampersand Screen Print – Neon Yellow (11″ x 14″)
• Ampersand Screen Print – Metallic Gold (11″ x 14″)
• Ampersand Screen Print – Metallic Silver (11″ x 14″)
Black & White Ampersand Prints:
We love seeing type and letter forms in the classic color palette of black and white—especially when they are over-sized to accentuate the positive and negative shapes! So, we are also offering 8″x 10″ and 11″ x 14″ black and white prints. We have the singular ampersand art print but, being pattern designers at heart, we couldn’t go without doing an all over surface pattern, as well! There are just SO many beautiful ampersands from various fonts that we had to give a few more of them a home. Each one in this series is printed on 100% cotton velvet fine art paper in archival pigment inks. They are  so beautiful in person!
• Ampersand Art Print — Black & White (11″ x 14″)
• Ampersand Art Print — Black & White Ampersand Pattern (11″ x14″)
• Pair of Ampersand Art Prints — Black & White (two 8″ x 10″s)

Melamine Ampersand Platters:
Platters — can you ever really have too many?! We think not. We are constantly using platters for entertaining and serving, but we we also can’t get enough of them for decorating and displaying! So we decided to design a couple of platters that we just really wanted to own. ha! (They look particularly good together, too). But really, how perfect to serve cheese & crackers! Or to display your favorite collections?
• Ampersand Melamine Platter – Black & White
• Melamine Platter – Ampersand Pattern
We envision the silver ampersand print as a perfect engagement gift…The neon ampersands tacked up in a creative office space… The black & white print as a perfect photo prop for two besties or future husband & wife…the platters holding your collection of photobooth strips of family & friends…!
We’d love to hear how you can imagine using them! 
So go check out the full new line and all the other fun goodies in the shop, too!
Cheers to fun new things for 2012! :)
—Morgan & Carrie
