Bird and landscape calendars

A combination of printing techniques was used to design these two calendars. The aim of the first calendar was to raise awareness of the extinction of birds in Bulgaria, the printer enhanced visual impact by using contour cutting for each of the bird silhouettes. The second calendar features evocative Bulgarian landscapes and was digitally printed and laser cut and mounted on a beech block.

Amaro Il Pì Gram 

This striking Piedmontese liqueur bottle appears white when empty but, once filled, changes to a gold cololur. No paint or ink were used, the bottle was first frosted with a pearlescent gold coloration. Molecular change in glass colour occurred using hot screen printing technology. Glass-coloured powder was melted which resulted in the bottle to achieving new effects without changing the original characteristics of the glass.

Moto Guzzi emblem

Screen printing was fused with 3D printing to create this motorcycle company anniversary emblem in glossy black chrome, created with Kromex technology. A decalco on a glossy gold polyester base with 4 colours (white, red, green, black) was screen printed, and subsequently embossed on the logo and the number 100, to add thickness. The logo was finished with a casting of polyurethane resin to achieve a lenticular effect.

Japan (JSDPA)

Inspired by Damascus steel, this creative special effect was created with vapour deposition transfer foil printing processing. Compared with mirror ink and metallic printing, this metallic lustre with high brightness and light reflection results in a highly designed decorative expression. The pattern glitters depending on the viewing angle.
