Alt Press Fest 2012 Spotlight: Nadya Bratt

Our uber-cool logo for Alt Press Fest 2012 (see above) was designed and created in house by SLCPL graphic designer Nadya Bratt. A native of Barcelona, her work on our logo combined with CPP‘s poster art has been integral to our success this year.

She has described herself thusly:

“Designer, Photographer and undercover Dicktator, binary fishie loves to sketch pretty letters spelling out mean things”

Check out her website here.

Stitch Niche

As you may know, many a zinester and book binder alike choose to use a needle and thread to bind their work.

So, while we’re at it I can’t help but think that Jenny Hart’s embroidered card tutorial might inspire an especially exceptional cover for your latest alternative press creation!

Enjoy
