Cover Design for Chatham Spin

Posted by Helsa on Tue, 07/07/2015 - 16:04

This project was to design two cover images as well as content for collophon for two series of boxes that contains suite of eight beautiful linocut prints in each box.

This is a portfolio of eight original linocut prints by Rodney Konopaki and Rhonda Neufeld. The project was inspired by Joan Miró’s Black and Red Series from 1938.

The blocks were drawn in Chatham, Ontario and cut later in Rodney’s studio in Vancouver, British Columbia. Edition printing was completed at Rhonda’s studio in Armstrong, British Columbia. Each image is printed in an edition of seven with one Artist Proof. All prints are numbered, titled, signed, and dated, on the verso. The work is printed on Arches Cover 250 gsm buff paper.

Portfolio design was by Helsa Ahmadi and fabrication by Vancouver Bookinding Ltd.

All the numbered editions are in portfolio boxes and the work was completed in 2013.
