We like a nice bit of print as much as the next leading visual communications blog but, beautiful as they often are, paper company promotions can be a tad predictable. Which is why Blast's campaign for Conqueror caught our eye

Blast commissioned illustrator Damien Weighill to create 300 drawings on eight different themes: Finance, Transport & Travel, Nature, Communication, Leisure & Entertainment, Work, Science & Technology and Ups & Downs. Those images are available as a free image resource for designers and art directors to download and use if they register at the 'Endless Possibilities' website (here).

In addition, Blast designed a 236-page book featuring all the illustrations which acts as both promotional piece and catalogue for the collection. It is divided into eight 32-page sections, one for each theme and each printed on a different Conqueror stock. Fifty thousand copies have been distributed around the world.

Four A2 posters, each featuring a different Weighill drawing, are being sent to design studios to support the campaign.
