Cut Once is pleased to announce that a project from our award-winning portfolio has been selected for inclusion in the Graphis Poster Annual 2011. Graphis has been publishing the world's most significant and influential works from the greatest talent in Design, Advertising, and Photography since 1944.

ABOUT OUR PROJECT
AIGA, the professional association for design, commissioned Cut Once to create marketing materials to help promote Pulp, Ink and Hops, Maryland's largest paper show. At this event creative professionals and "paper-addicts," were able to network and view the latest papers, greatest printers and designer services from over 20 vendors.

Since Pulp, Ink and Hops is always held at a different venue, it seemed silly to overlook the fact that the National Electronics Museum would be the host for this year’s event. We felt reinforcing the unique venue along with the event would be an unexpected approach as opposed to the more obvious direction of doing something with pulp, ink and hops. The event concept started to become more clear as we began to research the museums artifacts and exhibits. We concluded a collage of electronics should become the primary visual for this poster. The result was an intricate robot collaged with many vintage artifacts from exhibits in the museum such as radios, telegraphs, glass vacuum radio tubes, radar displays, telegraph keys and a microphone.
