All of these pieces are in proportion to each other, except the business card which is shown at 200% relative size.
more details
For an extended write-up on some of the more interesting and important features of this stationery, please read my journal entry, “Creating: Three Stationery Packages”.
business card
The beautiful flowing e is obviously the unique feature of the logo and begged to be pulled out and used as the focal point of the stationery pieces themselves.
mailing label
Because these labels are designed to be stuck on a larger surface, artwork that bleeds wouldn’t work as well as it does on free-standing pieces.
letterhead
The huge e in the background adds a touch of class and color to the letterhead while still allowing writing and typing to be clearly legible.
notepad
Like the web site, this notepad required that the e sacrifice its lower curve for the sake of important content.

rear of the no. 10 envelope
front of the a6 envelope
rear of the a6 envelope
Both of the envelopes allowed me to take advantage of the bleeding artwork to bring heavy use of color and a bit of style onto the rear flap.

The fold-over note card also uses a lot of color as the artwork flows over the fold and onto the rear. Thankfully, no one has to write on the outside of this piece.
