Let’s Get Literal (LGL) is a fun, interactive series of designs based on “literal” interpretations. LGL combines several things we love – clever concepts, design collaboration and creating campaigns that delight and engage people – and it’s up to the end-user to guess and check their answers at LetsGetLiteral.com.
Sigler's LGL 2021-22 calendar theme is HOMOPHONES (words that sound the same but have different meanings.) It utilizes the same 4 spot-color inks throughout to unify the unique aesthetic of our talented designers.
In Amy's words:
This year’s calendar theme was Homophones. Printed on Finch Fine paper, which is a reasonably priced uncoated paper, we only used 4 spot colors so the challenge was to see what we could do to make it something special.
I did the homophone Beat/Beet because I absolutely love beets! I was the weird kid in the family that would eat the whole pot of beets. Ha! I immediately envisioned a cute beet beating a little drum and I really wanted to make it interactive like a children’s pop-up book. I started by first illustrating the cartoon (as you can tell, I also love to draw) then I began figuring out the pull-strip mechanism to get the beet's arm to go up and down to simulate beating the drum. After a lot of cutting and trial and error, I finally got one that worked.
I have to admit, I am really happy with the way it turned out! I think the paper engineering of the arm works well and I love the colors!
