Illustrated by Maja Dlugolecki
3 COLORFUL COVERS XOXO 2019 ILLUSTRATED BY MAJA DLUGOLECKI
These Pair Nicely
Brushstrokes and Color Fields
Portland, Oregon’s XOXO Festival started several years ago to celebrate independent art and technology, and since its beginning, we’ve been producing small custom runs of our Memo Books for attendees. Each year, the festival selects a visual artist to develop a “look” for the event, and we work with the artist to create a set of notebooks. This year’s artist is Portland’s Maja Dlugolecki. Her brushstrokes and abstract color fields countered with white space — bright watercolors in this case — look great reproduced on soft, felt-textured cover stock, reminiscent of watercolor paper.
Attendees of the festival received a 3-Pack back in September, but we printed some extra and we're making them available here, while supplies last.
We're also offering a very limited number of XOXO 2019 press sheets.
