Simon Staines is a motion-graphics creative director working in the film industry. Having been a print designer for 10 years, working with the likes of Neville Brody/Research Studios, Simon really missed print so decided to launch 67 Inc with the view to publishing his own work.
“I wanted to try and combine all of my passions into one discipline and came up with the idea of the Trading card A to Z prints. Half of the battle with doing these prints is covering all the letters and numerals without compromising too much on the choices. I tried to create the ‘look and feel’ of the cards from the 60′s/70′s that I loved to collect and liked the idea that these beautiful and well known classic objects were represented in a format that is better known for footballers.”

Pick up an A2 Giclée print for £40. A steal if you ask me.
I love it! The colours are fantastic and probably the closest I’ll come to affording most of these designs, sadly.
That’s the wonderful thing about them, you can own all of those design classics once and for all.
