Having a nostalgic moment today looking at some of my really early graphic design work. I found this example which could well be the very first paid identity job that I did. Loving its retro look now and remembering how contemporary it felt when first created! Noticed the date on the envelope and it’s the first of April - April fools - ha ha.

I am really happy to find this example of early work and see that consideration was made with the stock - a kind of semitransparent paper, the colour of the paper for the letterhead and envelopes to match. All done with a single colour no doubt to bring costs down.

So often we are tempted to throw things out and keep only digital records but it was a wonderful whiff of nostalgia to see and touch this old relic.
