Once
all of the Galison Green line formats were developed to our 100% recycled
standard, we began delving into the product design and artwork selection (our
favorite part!). Our obvious goal was to use artwork that looked
"green" and "environmental," but we also focused on
utilizing strong color palettes and imagery that had a handmade quality.
After
months of research and planning, we settled on five solid themes, all of which
brought to life the concept of going green: birds, leaves, flowers, handmade collage,
and typography. We had the privilege of working with talented artists, such as
UK illustrator Lucie Summers, who created the handmade collages for the Lucie
Summers collection. Our approach with the Leaf Garden and Little Blue Birds
artwork was to portray nature in a charming and whimsical fashion. And lastly,
the Alphabet line is more conceptual with a PLAY on words (can you find them?).
Artwork
and design aside, we are so pleased with the quality of our recycled products.
As consumers, we hope that you feel good using the Galison Green stationery
products. After all, you're contributing to the ongoing cycle of keeping our
planet green. Reduce, reuse, recycle!
Ciao!
These look so fantastic!! And how wonderful that they're 100% recycled. You outdid yourselves on this line! I love it.
