Last week in the studio (CW18-26)
In this regular “Last week in the studio” series, I write about what I worked on during the previous week. Last week was quiet enough for me to take an afternoon off to enjoy the sunny weather, but I still got plenty done.
Week 18, 2026: Designing for print
My design for Codeboxx was finished the previous week, and since I’d already made some good progress developing the code, the remaining work was mostly about refinements. I had plenty of time to refine the animations and add more subtlety to the interactions.
I hadn’t initially intended my QR code artwork to be used offline, but we decided to turn four of the pieces into a set of postcards, which Codeboxx can include in their deliveries.
We ordered 500 of each from Solopress—my regular print supplier—which will be delivered to Codeboxx next week.
I like seeing my work printed. That doesn’t happen often enough. Then, I was reminded that I’d promised Ryan Knaggs a business card design.
The card had to be a square, which I always prefer because it makes composition much easier. Ryan’s card needed to include the logo I’d designed, his URL, and a QR code containing his contact information.
We ended up with a design that incorporates those elements, along with his “dramatic music” tagline.
