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.

Uma fotografia num cartão de visita, sem brilho

Fotografia botânica escura que se dissolve num fundo beringela profundo, texto em creme e verso creme. Papel silk em vez de laminado, para que a fotografia se veja sem reflexos.

A ideia

Um florista com um trabalho escuro e dramático queria um cartão que se parecesse com os seus arranjos, não com um artigo de papelaria. Fotografia nos dois lados, nada brilhante.

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.
