I made the pocket folder from canvas and I'm planning on administering a rough screen printing application of the logo and some splatter designs on the bottom of the bag. It has pockets on the inside to hold all the collateral. I guess my only question I have is should i made a stencil for the decorative splatter I want to add to the bag or should I play with actually splatter painting it. I myself am leaning more toward the stencil but I want a secondary opinion

Letterpress Brochure Update
Hello! Here's a quick update on my current stage in my brochure.
Background: technically, it's not a brochure, it's a series of poster-cards. Each card features a quote by a famous designer created regarding their style, and the back of the posters have information about the company/printing process.
All posters will be encased in an envelope style folder that will have a slit in the back to hold the business card, letterhead and envelope.
The designs are strictly two–colour since the more colour, the more difficult, time consuming, and costly the prints are as letterpress.
The intent of the posters are to be displayed on designer's work area both as inspiration and as a reminder of their friendly neighbourhood letterpress printer ;).
I'm still working on the proportions of the envelope, but here are the 4 posters…

Paul Rand—created using geometric shapes and Futura typeface (geometric)
Chip Kidd—used his iconic round glasses, book covers, and his very loved typeface "Gotham"
James Victore—signature sharpie marker/grungy style
Milton Glaser—created the poster using his typeface "Glaser Stencil" as well as bright & bold colors
Thanks! :)
