Stripe SF in Grafik

Jon Sueda Profile
by Amber Bravo

“On demand, full-color printing” is now available at CopyEdge Digital Printing Center, the small copy shop located a floor below Jon Sueda’s San Francisco studio. One can imagine that the plethora of bogus brochures and pedestrian printed matter churned out by the shop on a daily basis would serve as an apt foil for the work produced just one flight up, but for Sueda it can also be inspirational. For the CCA Wattis Institute catalogue Amateurs, he in fact borrows heavily from this aesthetic. The cover titling—printed thermographically in an inelegant purple brush script—cheap coloured paper and rounded corners all suggest something of a design dilettante, but are composed with such a knowing, stylistic hand that nobody would question the catalogue’s inclusion at the SFMoMA bookstore, just a few blocks down the road.
