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…

Human iPhone Suit

Posted: 17th June 2011

Posted in: Point Of Sale & Marketing Material

Here is a clip of a recent project we were involved in.
It is a human iPhone suit. It was part of the new Australian Good Food and Travel Guide (AGFG) iPhone App Promotion.
We created the front screen and back of the iPhone, using 6mm laser cut acrylic and digital print.
The suit was then fitted with a working flatscreen T.V. inside, which had to be run by a Car Battery.
Needless to say, the suit was quite heavy. We are currently helping to find a lighter alternative.

Check out the clip below.

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

Posted: 21st April 2011

Posted in: Laser Etching & Router Cutting

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.
