Bubble Wrap Typography

So, I came across this article today and it amazed me! I love when people think outside of the box and create something so unique and original. A spanish graphic design studio created typography with BUBBLE WRAP! Whaaaat!? It's such an inspiration! Hopefully we can create an awesome advertising campaign with a twist some day!

Check out the link!

Introduction to the Metro Super Saver / Direct Mail Advertising



Our direct mail product, the Metro Super Saver, has been in publication since 1990. That's a pretty good run! It started as a two-color newsprint piece (only green and black ink). It's original mission as an affordable venue for small business in the Twin Cities Metro Area still holds true today!

Over the years, we've gotten to work with a few thousand clients of all shapes, sizes, backgrounds and types. Retailers, restaurants, insurance sales, trades, you name it. A couple of the original clients from our very first issue still even advertise with us today!

Millions of Minneapolis, St. Paul and its surrounding citizens have received, viewed and redeemed the ads that we have created for our clients. It's really quite a thrill to think about how far this little publication has made it. We pride ourselves in its success and ultimately the success that it has brought our advertisers.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of the Metro Super Saver: advertisers, readers, employees, etc.
