hot off the press

October 1, 2012

We might be digital darlings, but we love us some analog.


Like the work of Porchlight
Press
, the new studio in Vancouver that offesr graphic design
services as well as the not-yet-lost art of letterpress printing. Its
like the slow food movement of graphic design, says owner Heather Braun.
Theres a handmade element to this printing technology (which is older
than your grandmother) that makes each piece uniquely beautiful. The
studio can tackle jobs as small as invitations to your kids first
birthday, or as large as business cards for your company. Plus, we hear
theyre going to start offering letterpress workshops so you can learn to
print on these decades-old machines yourself.

Charming, these prints. Kelsey Dundon
