I love letterpress. I guess that's kind of a dumb thing to say because is there really anybody out there who DOESN'T like letterpress?? It's tactile, elegant and cool. I love when people use it in unexpected, modern ways too. Studio on Fire is an awesome little design shop that produces some amazing letterpress work. You may remember the name when I posted about my friend Rilla Alexander's beautiful work in their annual calendar. They always have a unique twist, whether its typography or color, to their work that makes it so special.
Rilla's work with Studio on Fire makes me smile:
My friend Brian Gunderson, who is a genius designer and totally cool guy, was a contributer to the same calendar and also designed these rad little journals:
I just love the colors in this piece! They recently won an AIGA award:
