Case Studies

Postcard portrait book printed on Mohawk Superfine Ultrawhite Eggshell 324gsm.

The Queer Pioneer book features eight postcard portraits of some of the artists and activists who have made an impact on the designer Mel Carroll's life.

The project was self-initiated, and each time a portrait was finished, he was compelled to create another. Whilst exhibiting the eight portraits at a local arts venue in Belfast, Mel wanted to create corresponding postcard packs with quotes from each subject for the audience to take away with them.
