  • Matchbook - please critique

    #1
    Howdy y'all -

    I've been lurking this forum for a while...I own a small printing and design business in Southern CA. Recently I was hired to do an identity package for a pinup/burlesque model, since it's not your usual business card/leterhead/envelope fare I thought I would share it with you guys. There's also going to be a business card, an 8 x 10, and a poster. Let me know what you think...a couple of "naughty bits" have been censored in the drawing to keep things PG-13. First matchbook I've ever done...I think it's becoming a lost art!

      The "cowgirl" drawing and the cactuses (cacti?) were drawn by a tattoo artist, everything else is original.

        I like it a lot. If you have a website, it would probably be better to put up than a phone# for your own business - but that's just my opinion

          Yeah I maybe should have blacked that out...but it's required to be on a matchbook for some reason. Maybe so that when a kid burns down the house they know who to call and blame. Thanks!

              huh. I didn't know that about ph numbers on matchbooks. weird.

              Anyhow, as original art I really like it.
              My only concern is that people aren't gonna know what the business is. So maybe that Custom Deluxe Printing needs to be more prominent? (is it a K on purpose?)

              Also out of curiosity will the gal be censored in the final?

                Hi Audentia -

                The "Kustom Deluxe Printing" line (yes it's a K , as in kustom kulture - ask George Barris) will end up printing on the very bottom fold of the matchbook in about 4 point type, barely visible. That and the "Be Safe - Keep Cover Closed" are required. There will also be text inside the book itself, I'm still waiting for copy on that one...most likely though it will say "actress/pin-up girl/burlesque model" and have contact information. Thanks!

                  Oh and no, definitely no censorship on the final version. I didn't want to get banned on my first post for 5 px-wide-line-drawing naughty bits.

                    I like it.

                    My only concern is the inner line weight on the cowgirl. It seems rather thin/small and might fill in on the final print if the printer ink bleeds at all.

                      I dig it! And, I was disappointed to see that her website is still under construction.
