Halloween Edition
It’s aliiiiivee…! Print, that is. And we’ve been busy designing for it all month long.
We always seem to have a balanced queue of both digital and print projects at Imbue — whether it’s copy, design, consulting, or something else, we create work fit for all mediums.
Lately, we’ve had our hands in more print-related projects than usual. (So, if you thought print was dead, you’re wrong!)
Here are a few pieces we’ve recently completed:
- Designed and did layout for a series of political ads and collateral pieces (direct mailpieces, yard signs, newspaper ad)
- Produced a number of scientific figure recreations for scientific research posters
- Designed a template and layout with multiple image spreads for a client’s annual monthly planner
- Designed multiple pop-up/retractable banners with company core branding and messaging
- Provided concept and copywriting for a start-up company’s brochure and marketing collateral
Designing and writing for print is very different from when we create work for web. For both mediums, we have to consider the user experience (context in which it will be seen, how the user will engage with the piece), scale (size and way in which the piece is displayed/held), and technical details (resolution, fonts). It’s always a challenge and we love the opportunity to create both for our clients.
In other news: while not everyone will be dressing up this year for Halloween, we will all be indulging in our favorite Halloween candy. Here are our top trick or treating candies and most memorable costumes from years past:

Laura

Michael O.
Candy: Starburst
Costume: Old Timey Baseball Player (complete with perfectly manicured moustache)
Jane
Candy: Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
