LETTERPRESS IS ALL THE RAGE

dustinparkerarts — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 09:32:56 +0000

Letterpress printed business cards are all the rage these days so I decided I should cash in my store credit at Running Doves Press and design a new business card to show off my design skills. I pushed some buttons on the computer and this was the end result. I want to use a charcoal ink on mustard yellow or mint green or burnt orange or who the fuck cares. Speaking of paper… French Paper Co. is awesome. www.frenchpaper.com and www.frenchsampleroom.com
