So I'm pretty excited to post this stuff up. I had an excellent opportunity to do all the design work for my own wedding. Things turned out perfect. I was able to use letterpress, uv printing, black paper stock etc. Finally something that included printing into the mix. I found a great local Toronto company called Toronto Trip Print Press to do the letterpressed envelopes. I don't have benpurkiss.com updated yet but I'll link to my facebook page for all the photos. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.2364191823990.2113920.1226217488&type=1

So I've been MIA lately

2011-10-04T15:16:00.002-04:00

Well I wanted to throw this post out there. I've been away, but I haven't abandoned this blog in the least. The past few months I have been working very hard on the Ontario Provincial Election Campaign working with the Progressive Conservatives. In all honesty I've dedicated the last year of my life to this and I can't believe it's almost over. God willing we win in 2 days time, who knows what will happen after. I will continue to post up what inspires me and impresses and will always share my work. Speaking of which I'm getting married in a few weeks time and created some VERY cool wedding invitations which I'll be posting up 'hopefully' next week. It's nice not to have someone who doesn't live and breath design giving design direction. Very excited for you all to see what I have in store.
