Edge Painting is amazing!
And so is John Shim! He is a fantastic local photographer and a good friend of Fourth Year Studio. He photographed Emily’s wedding and her most adorable proposal. Her husband proposed while mountain biking and asked John to hide out and capture Emily’s very surprised and extremely happy reaction. It really doesn’t get any better than that.
John came to us in need of a memorable, simple business card that spoke true to his brand. The cards are printed onto either side of Crane’s 220lb cotton stock. We felt we needed to spice things up a little bit and the double thick paper gave us the perfect medium to use for edge painting.
We matched the letterpress ink tone and used an airbrush to paint the edges. It was thrilling to see how well it turned out and it was truly the perfect pop!
Thank you John for allowing us to experiment on you!
