Letterpress = Love

Posted in My favorite designs on 15.04.09 by Merlyn

I have an infatuation with letterpress. I’m not sure what it is that I am so in love with, but my dream business card would be letter-pressed and everything that I ever design I suggest letterpress because it is so unique and different, and nothing feels better to the touch then cotton paper. 

Where did it come from?

Letterpress printing began in the 14th century as an alternative to laborious calligraphy. Invented by Johann Gutenberg, this form of relief printing was the first method for mass-producing the printed word.

Why is it so amazing?

Not only do I adore starfish, but this has starfish and letterpress all in one!!!

Most Recent Soul Mates Project

Posted in My Designs on 03.04.09 by Merlyn

I so badly wanted to be apart of these secret boudoir sessions… however, dropping $300 for some sexy pics in my lingerie just isn’t in my budget quite yet.  Maybe once I become a fantastic world renowned designer, then I will be able to afford a photo shoot like that. 

Here is the cute flyer I designed for Soul Mates Photo…Love it!
