Tinted Mint Laser Cut Calendar - 1st Prototype

Making 2011 calendar sets for my Tinted Mint shop. Here's an experiment with a combination of laser cutting and engraving/etching on 0.6mm thick card board.

SUPERMODULE

Stumbled across the SUPERMODULE booth at Renegade San Francisco over the weekend. Absolutely love the simplicity of the graphics, made modern with beautiful use of color. Plus, I'm a sucker for letterpress. Hope to some day to a class on it. They print on on 100% reclaimed cotton paper and are tree-free which makes their products even more attractive. Hurray for being eco!
