How do you handle silk over soft-touch?

Soft-touch laminate mutes dark photography and lifts blacks toward grey. 32pt silk, no laminate. The stock is matte by itself and holds the shadow detail in the leaves.

How do you handle dark-to-dark fade?

On press, a photographic black meeting a solid spot-built purple can band. Built the aubergine from the same four-colour mix as the photograph so the transition is one continuous separation, not two.

La idea

Una floristería con un trabajo oscuro y dramático quería una tarjeta que se pareciera a sus arreglos, no a un producto de papelería. Fotografía por ambas caras, nada brillante.

Two rules

01Silk over soft-touch. 32pt silk, no laminate. The stock is matte by itself and holds the shadow detail in the leaves.
02Dark-to-dark fade. Built the aubergine from the same four-colour mix as the photograph so the transition is one continuous separation, not two.
