Buck Cut Paper Company (Senior Project)

Buck Cut paper company is unlike any other paper company, 
because the paper comes from cutting down the invasive buckthorn
species, and is helping clean and speed up the remove of this damage
causing species.
 
Buckthorn was brought to the U.S. from Europe in the
mid-1800s as a very popular hedging material. Shortly after its introduction, 
it was found to be quite invasive in natural areas. Buckthorn Out-
competes native plants for nutrients, light, and moisture while 
degrading wildlife habitat, and serving as a host for harmful pests
Seeing this as a large scale problem spreading through 36 states
and that it is being pushed aside and each state handles it differently,
Buck Cut paper company saw a way to make desirable paper products
while solving a problem.

The Deleted Series
 
The Deleted series is an eight paper pallete
series from Buck Cut. Deleted features paper
with more earthy and muted tones  The theme
of this series is dedicated to the unfortunate loss
of select species in natature. The new pallete colors
in the Deleted series are named after some of these
extinct animals to pay homage to these exotic, beautiful,
lost creaters, to keep the Idea of nature and it's impermanence.
Backs of sample pages - Descriptions of the extinct animals 
Deleted Poster series
4 Posters to advertise for the deleted paper series 18x24
Posters Are designed to look like blank paper from afar [letting the paper speak). As the viewer comes closer they start to see the tonal print on the paper. The Idea being, viewers want to see the "animal" but struggle to see because the animal is extinct.
