Letterpress business cards

Letterpress

Vector designs made into photopolymer plates and letterpress printed

It had been a few years since I’d done any physical printing when I realized that I could use a new set of business cards. I signed up for a project-focused class at the Center for Book Arts and planned on a relatively simple design utilizing metal type in the studio when I started playing with shapes in Illustrator and ended up with a series of spirograph-like structures. My simple design became a three-color job with a tight registration, but the challenge proved to be fully within scope, even with my slightly rusty skills. I printed just two of the four designs for now and hope to get back to a press again soon.
