Fetch Blog

A lot of work goes into our paper. But even more goes onto it. 

Paper's the blank canvas, the starting point. It's the creativity of the people with whom we work that brings it to life. The Fetch Blog is a little snap shot of that work. Here we show you our latest paper samplers, cool work our clients have done, KWD news including environmental updates, wild paper tales and any up and coming paper, design and print events. We'll be uploading new stuff every week so send us your best work.

A Curious Story

Tell me a story that I've never heard before.
Tell me about a young girl who lives in the stars, and about how she met with a chimera.
Tell me how she lived and breathed under the seas, how she played with fire, ice and wind.
Tell me how she slept at night, in a cradle of light.
Tell me how she transcended matter itself.

Tell me a...Curious Story.

Hallelujah

Our brief to David Lancashire was to create something precious and with meaning. After the "up and down" year of 2009 we wanted to thank our customers with a beautiful Christmas keepsake.  His answer was to create this angelic Christmas card showcasing the Keaykolour paper range from Arjowiggins. 

Based on the song by Leonard Cohen and more recently made famous by the late Jeff Buckley, Hallelujah is a delicate piece, measuring just 70mm x 100mm, it features three different sets of laser cut wings, a bronze foil on the cover and bronze (PMS 876) ink throughout. 

If you did not receive your copy of this petite little beauty and would like to see it for yourself, please contact our samples department or your KWD paper Rep. 

Thank you to Gary Bowles from Arjowiggins for allowing us to create this gem.

Expression Candlelight Sketchbook

In Collaboration with Three60, Justin Edward John Smith and Boudicca we bring you our limited edition sketchbook as an example of the interesting journey creative thinking can take you. What started with a range of discontinued paper in our Queensland warehouse ended up as a limited edition animated sketchbook.

The sketchbook or notepad idea has been done before, but not quite like this. 

When exploring the themes of back to life, new meaning and making the old new again, Three60 came up with the idea to intertwine the medium of print and motion. Justin Smith, photographer, was brought in to explore the concept and suggested a short film he shot in collaboration with Boudicca some 10 years earlier. 

In keeping with our re-birth theme, the film, featuring the vampish fragrance WODE was carefully framed shot by shot to deliver 1200 unique covers. Digitally printed,  each numbered book has been re photographed and animated to tell the story of WODE from within the cover of your sketchbook.

We hope this sketchbook will not only document your creative thoughts but also inspire and encourage innovative thinking. To get your hands of one of these limited Sketchbooks speak to your paper rep today.

Endless Possibilities

What is a horse doing with an ice cream on its head?
The same thing a kangaroo is doing with golf clubs. 

Meet Damien Weighill, an illustrator from the UK who teamed up with the creative bunch at Blast Design, to create a truly original (and somewhat wacky) collection of illustrations, ideas and interpretations.

Together with Conqueror paper, Damien has set about exploring the themes of communication, travel, finances, leisure and nature. This humourous pint sized book celebrates the vast range of high quality Conqueror papers, and the creative possibilities they offer designers.

Endless Possibilities is available from your K.W.Doggett Fine Paper representative. The full collection of illustrations can be downloaded from www.conquerorpossibilities.com
