Episode 004 - Caleb Kozlowski - Hybrid Design - Print as an Object - Mohawk Maker Quarterly.

49m · Print Design Podcast · 22 May 10:00

Today's guest is Caleb Kozlowski. He is the Creative Director at Hybrid Design in San Francisco CA. They are the creative team behind the Mohawk Maker Quarterly.

Caleb has a great way of looking at print differently. He shares his perspective on print as an object instead of just something that is printed. It's something that has texture and interactive components to it.

He also gives us a behind the scenes of the incredible Mohawk Maker Quarterly's. What it takes to create them, how they start and view a project, the design, and the production of them. Caleb also shares a few of his favourite issues with us and a couple details on what it took to pull them off.

We also talk about print project planning and how you should be building any unique papers or specialty finishing into the planning and idea of the project. Building around them to make the most of them rather than adding them as an afterthought.

The Mohawk Maker Quarterly is publication that is put out by Mohawk Paper. They are manufacturers of incredible print papers including their most recent release, Mohawk Renewal featuring wheat fibre and hemp fibre papers.
