Black and White VSCO Stickers - A Timeless Aesthetic

Black is commonly associated with power, authority and strength, which makes it a deep and serious color. While white is directly linked to that which is righteous, good and peaceful. White is thought to promote creative thought. Both colors communicate differently but have direct communication in a powerful way.

In today’s world of color, black and white is able to portray more emotions than color and become more appealing. This is because it makes you pay attention to the composition of the stickers and not the vibrant colors that just catch your eyes.

But the convergence of black and white, the two divergent colors, communicate more powerfully together than they do on their own. It’s about balance, peace and clarity.

In 1910 the technology advances allowed the printing of colored images and pictures. Brightly colored stickers are used to catch your attention because the saturation of them increases the attention which makes them good for a VSCO sticker.

However, subtle black and white can still make a great VSCO sticker because it’s a nice aesthetic. But also, monochrome stickers still attract attention as white can stand out when contrasted against black.

Advances In Sticker Printing Techniques

Stickers date back to the Egyptians times; they were used to advertise stuff and provide information on market stalls or advertise product prices.

Lithography was invented in 1796 and became the number one method of printing color stickers. This was a printing process that uses a flat stone or metal plate on which the image areas are worked using a greasy substance so that the ink will adhere to them.

However, lithography was expensive and difficult. By 1935 the modern-day sticker had been invented. Demand for these stickers increased exponentially. And shortly after that flexography was developed which utilized a flexible relief plate.

However, the world was digitized and so was the sticker printing techniques. Introduction of digital inkjet printers allowed companies to produce quality vinyl stickers in the most cost-efficient way. This also allowed for an easier and wider use of color.
