The brief/

Art direction for a paper mill’s first stationery range — five stocks, one voice.

Nusa makes paper by hand in small runs. The range needed to show the paper, not the design.

The challenge

Five stocks with subtle differences that disappeared completely in photographs.

The response

Raking-light photography, a swatch system on every pack, and a launch catalogue printed on all five stocks so customers can feel the difference.
