Every time Jamie and I have decided to print something on our letterpress up until this point, we’ve been learning something new or working on something that needed both our full attentions to accomplish. That makes it pretty hard to document the process. We’ve wanted to make a video of our printing for a while now, so this past weekend we decided …
Morning Brew: Summer?
These prints by C.S Neal are so fun. I wanted to post them because they remind me of summer. I am completely and utterly ready for summer. When we left Palm Springs this weekend it was in the 80’s, but when we got back home to LA it was all clouded over and barely over 60 degrees. I wish at least the …
What a Year it has Been
Wow I can’t believe it has been a year since Jake and I were married. I thought that day would never come. Now it has come and gone. May, 15 2010 in Traverse City, MI was our day. I thought since we’ve never really posted any pictures from our wedding, it would be nice to reminisce a little. Jake and I had so much fun …
The Bartlett Press: Unbridled Sound Business Cards
We have finally printed our first order of letterpress business cards. A friend of mine at work has wanted us to make him business cards since before we even had our letterpress. It was a good project to get under our belts; we had fun and we learned a lot in the process. Both sides of the card use black ink, …
Updated Design

Morning Brew: Do What You Love
I forgot to mention last week, but last Tuesday was my last day of work. After much deliberation Jake and I decided that I would quit my full-time graphic design job giving me time to pursue the kind of graphic design that I really love. Instead of doing graphic design in the corporate realm, I am now focusing on our blog, …
Oh, Technology!: LetterMpress
I came across this amazing letterpress app being developed for iPads the other day. The video explains everything, but you basically get to do everything involved with making a print on a letterpress, but on an iPad. The designs can be multiple colors, use multiple fonts, and be exported as an image or sent to a printer. To learn more …
Morning Brew: Pasta Packaging
I really think that if food companies started designing their packaging more like this, they’d have a lot more people my age buying their products. This packaging would win me over any day. I’d want to buy them all just to make my kitchen cabinet look so well designed. Source: Erik Johansson
Retrofonts
Jamie and I were strolling through The Grove the other night, and found ourselves at Barnes and Noble. We stumbled upon an amazing book that we instantly knew had to be added to our collection. The full name of the book is “Over 360 of the Most Popular Retrofonts from the 19th and 20th Centuries Typedesign”, or Retrofonts for short. …
