A Tribute to Craft.
A Testament to Legacy.
In collaboration with St Austell Printing Company, BCLR was asked to design the front cover of their 2025 calendar; a piece that would honour the heritage of print while asserting its relevance in the modern age. The brief was clear: celebrate the heritage of print, and do so with elegance, authority, and timeless appeal.
The Challenge
St Austell Printing Company (SAPC) wished to showcase the enduring legacy of print. The task was to honour a centuries-old craft while presenting it with clarity and relevance for today, ensuring the piece resonated with loyal clients while captivating a new generation who value the story behind print.
Our Craft
Letterpress became the cornerstone of the design. We reinterpreted its tactile qualities—textures, type forms, and composition—through a refined, digital lens. The result is a design that feels rooted in tradition yet unmistakably contemporary, embodying the enduring elegance of print.
The Legacy
The final piece does more than mark the beginning of a year; it tells the story of a centuries-old craft, reimagined for the present. The design bridges heritage and modernity, positioning SAPC as both traditional and relevant. This is a piece that educates, inspires, and endures; affirming the sophistication of print in the twenty-first century.
