DBD Wishes You Happy Holidays!
Unbelievable, another twelve months have passed, and it’s that time to reflect on the past year and look ahead to new opportunities.
DBD is grateful for the action-packed, challenging and strong 2011 activity. We experienced the highs and lows that come with the advertising business.

New Packaging, Old Rolling Papers
We recently aquired some new books at DBD. The books themselves are as nicely designed and put together as the content within them.
The first book is called “Rolling Paper Graphics” put together by José Lorente and is published by Gingko Press. This book is an amazing collection of rolling paper graphics from the late 19th to early 20th centuries. The author organizes the content into seven sections; nature, places, objects, people, typography, textures and advertising. What awaits in each section is an array of beautiful illustrations, type setting, logos, and colors. I didn’t really know what to expect when first seeing what this book was about, but soon found out how addicting it is to look at. The unique illustrations and hand drawn type are very inspiring…
