Episode 017 - Asa Cook - Intertype Studio - Packaging and Playing Card Design.

This weeks guest is Asa Cook. He is a talented packaging designer, as well as Creative Director and Founder of Intertype Studio located in London EN. @intertypestudio

During this episode we do a deep dive into the design, illustration, and production of the NHS Thank You playing card deck. This thing is beautiful. It swept through Instagram around a month ago and if you have seen it, you would understand why. Asa tells us the dream he had that led to the creation of this amazing fundraiser to assist the NHS in their front line efforts battling Covid. Amazing story.

We also get into the packaging design that he remembers absolutely loving as a kid and how he far exceeded requirements for a print design project in Uni. Asa also shares with us his first-ever professional print project which was for a major beer brand and what he learned with that.

This was such a fun conversation and I loved hearing Asa's stories. Natural storyteller for sure. If you want to see the cards and a video of the production of them head over to www.intertypestudio.com
