Billabong Pro Teahupo'o Tahiti Andy Irons Forever Award 2011

Posted: 30th August 2011

Posted in: Design & Illustration, Laser Etching & Router Cutting, Custom Awards & Event Collateral

We here at Potato Press feel very privileged to have produced the very first Andy Irons Forever Award for the 2011 Billabong Pro in Teahupo’o Tahiti.

We were involved from the design and concept stage all the way through to completion.
It was made from a combination of Laser Etched and Cut Red Cedar, A Grade Ply and Brushed Aluminum Acrylic.
All the pieces were layered on top of each other to give the trophy depth and texture.

A huge congratulations goes to Jeremy Flores from France who was awarded the trophy for the most committed surfer of the whole event.
Flores surfed unbelievably well throughout the whole comp and even scored a perfect heat, getting two 10 point rides.

Check out the clip below of Bruce Irons presenting the Trophy to Jeremy Flores. Check out full coverage of the event over HERE…

Here is a recent office graphic fit out for Gold Coast Advertising Agency, Cooper & Westwood. They recently moved into a new office space and asked us to do some graphics throughout the office for them.
We did Printed and Vinyl Cut Glass Graphics, which flowed through all the windows in the office.
We also did a Laser Cut Timber Screen for their boardroom window. We used Fijian Ply, which has a nice grain and colour to it.

Raleigh Paper Laser Etched & Laser Cut Paper Samples

Raleigh Paper have some pretty amazing Paper Stocks. Recently we were approached by the guys at Raleigh Paper in Brisbane to do some Laser Etched Paper and Laser Cut Paper samples for them. We jumped at the chance to test out some of their awesome paper in our Laser. We got some really great results. My personal favorites were the Plike Brown 330gsm and the Via Felt 270gsm. We also got Jason, our in-house book binder, to put together a hard case folder to keep the samples nice and safe.

Thanks heaps to Michelina from Raleigh Paper for hooking us up with all the great samples.

Laser Cut Mosaic Screen

Posted in: Laser Etching & Router Cutting, Detailed Joinery & Graphic Fit-Outs

Today we put up our Laser Cut Mosaic Screen in our mezzanine studio.

We got our Joiner, Rex Casson from Naramaa Joinery, to make a rail for the top and bottom anchor points. He used a beautiful old piece of Camphor Laurel he had at his factory.

The panels themselves are Laser Cut from 3mm MDF Board. We used MDF because it is nice and cheap and the Laser loves cutting it.

We used a rail system with stainless steel wires and clamps to hold the panels in place. We intend to change the image every few months, so the rail system gives us the flexibility to switch the size and the amount of panels used.

It turned out great! The best thing is, you can see it from both upstairs in the studio and downstairs in the front reception. Drop by and check it out!

Laser Cut Land Contour Model

Posted in: Laser Etching & Router Cutting

Here is a project we did for BDA Architecture on the Gold Coast. It is a Laser Cut Land Contour Model for a development in Malaysia.

It took almost a full week for Robbie to set up all the files, cut each individual layer and then stick each layer on top of each other, in the right order.

We had to do it in 4 sections because it had to be shipped to Malaysia.

Here are a couple of pics from a job we did a little while back. They are some Wooden Laser Etched Point of Sale Stands for Billabong Australia, here on the Gold Coast. We gave the guys few different types of woods to choose from. They ended up choosing the New Guinea Rosewood, which is a re-newable plantation hard wood. It has a beautiful bright rose colour scattered throughout the grain.

Nice.
