Lets get started!
Hand-made stuff is hard to come by these days. Computers and
fast, high-volume printing methods make it easy and relatively
painless to slap something together, using high-tech printing
and publishing techniques.
Now, don't get us wrong, we don't snub technology here at Cricket
Press. We have computers, and we use them often. We enjoy being
efficient.
It's the end-product, and lasting impression that we take issue
with on most things we see. We like to spend a little more time
on things, and use older, some say "outdated" techniques
to produce the things we do. 98% of the stuff we create starts
out with pencils, ink and paper... then ends up being printed
using good 'ol elbow grease and sweat.
Not sure what we are talking about? Not convinced? Next time
you come across something that has been screenprinted or printed
using a letterpress, hold that next to something that has been
offset printed or photocopied. Run your fingers across them,
hold them up to the light, feel the weight of them. We think
you'll soon come to understand what we're getting at here...
Technique is only half the equation, though. Again, about 98%
of the stuff we make is hand-rendered or hand-crafted of some
sort; straight from our little imaginations, down to our hands,
and right onto the page. Of course, it might take a little longer,
but we think it's worth it.
Getting
Started :
-Contact us-
E mail us at: cricketpress@gmail.com
and explain what you may (or may not) have in mind. We will
reply promptly with any suggestions, answers and ideas...or
arrange a time/place where we can meet in person to discuss
your job further.
Unsure
of what you want? No problem!
We take pride in our craft and will answer any questions you
may have, while sharing our own ideas and techniques. Almost
anything is possible. We will work with you, giving you the
personal attention that your job requires because we wouldn’t
ask less for ourselves.
-Job Estimate-
Once your project is discussed we will email you a job estimate.
This will contain a rough cost quote based around the specifics
of your job. Through out the project any and all changes to
the estimate are shared and approved by the client before moving
forward.
-Contract-
You will also receive a Job
Description and Contract that clearly defines your project
and the date the project is due.
-Deposit-
To begin work, we only require a small deposit to reserve your
project on our work queue.
-Art-
Proofs are made available via email and we will provide reliable
communications until you are totally pleased with the art. Only
after approval does your project go to print. Everything is
printed by hand, by us, here in our studio. Cricket Press is
only two people...so every job is given intimate attention.
We average a 4 week turn-around, from first concepts...to print,
on most projects.
What you pay for…
-Originality
-Creativity
-Communication
-Craftsmanship
-Personal Attention
-Hands-on Design & Printing
Isn’t
