Eric has worked in print design since 1991, even attending old-school press checks and requesting Chromalin keys back in the day. Now, he works through the digital print age with a history and experience with color reproduction which includes the era when the agency where he worked had a color print bureau in house and he was always busy trying to trick out what would fit through a commercial laser printer without breaking it.
The attention to detail with print carries through to the Day For Night Catalogue, which is an edition of 100 CDs/CD-Rs/DVD releases in commercial jewel casing, as well as the Bandcamp limited collection of 7″ EPs, all items from which are printed and manufactured (hand-assembled) on-site by the artist himself.
The commercial print portfolio of work by Eric Scott, where featured as Art Director includes:
