PlayMakers Gala : Save The Dates
Although we’re in Portland now, Parklife Press spent most of its first decade in Chapel Hill, less than a mile from UNC. On the far side of campus, beyond the sea of pastel polo shirts and khaki shorts, was PlayMakers Repertory Company. This year PlayMakers is celebrating its 40th year, and unlike the previously mentioned campus…

New York Garden Wedding Whimsy
It can be tricky to create a wedding invitation suite that’s colorful, playful, and exciting, while still conveying the sophistication of the event itself. While working with Terisa and Tom, the goal of maintaining that balance was always at the front of our minds. Ok, sure, the save the dates leaned a bit toward the whimsical…

Foil, Door Tags, and Alligators
It’s great when we get to work with a wedding client from the very beginning – starting with the save the dates, moving on to the invitations, and then following through to the wedding day pieces. We did this for Elisa and Alexander, shifting the design vision slightly throughout the process while still maintaining a cohesive…

Mid-Century Modern Floral
This lively set was based on a 60’s style botanical motif printed in two shades of green. Designed by the bride (between her cake-baking sessions), the set was printed with two custom inks on 600g fluorescent white stock. First, a square save the date card — emphasis on the date. The playful greens grow inwards from all…

Botanical Postcards
This two-sided client-designed save the date postcard combines light warm gray letterpress ink for the front with flat inkjet printing on the back. The botanical image has wonderful ornate detail while the R+B monogram on the back is simple and clean. The two styles work beautifully together. When printing two-sided, we can use letterpress for both, but it’s…

For the invitations, we carried through the same inks, paper, along with a few variations on the Gotham typeface. On the back of the invitation we added…

Kindly Save the Date
Halloween’s over, midterm elections are in the rear-view mirror, and we’re barreling toward Thanksgiving (which, in our modern era, is a blink away from Christmas and New Year’s). Then, the recovery from all that, followed by the dull expanse of winter. HOW DID IT GET TO BE FEBRUARY ALREADY, you ask? Well, take a breath;…

Perforation Perfection
This was a really fun set. Designed by graphic designer (and groom) Derek Howles — who, incidentally, also designs these super-cool cartography poster prints — it was interesting and unconventional. And art-y! Which is fitting, since they got married at the North Carolina Museum of Art. The set was comprised of a save the date…

Drawing Inspiration: Art, Cultural Traditions, Local Pride
From a creative professional’s perspective, Sneha and Dylan were dream clients. The did research, they “shopped local,” and they visited the studio — both to talk with Travis, and to see (and feel) letterpress samples in person. Most importantly, they had a solid design vision and provided concrete inspiration and references. Parklife Press did custom…

Durham, Via …
Megan and Ted had a bold, simple look in mind for their invitations. Both loved the clean look of the Futura typeface, which captured the wedding’s modern and traditional blend of styles. They first grabbed their guests’ attention with a save the date card, featuring a custom illustration by Travis, which traced the couple’s route…
