While I can say this video is visually beautiful it’s a cold and negative way of seeing a whole culture.

Letterpress Coasters

Since my first experience with letterpress I still can’t get enough. Even with the far in between experiences of receiving someone’s business card that is letterpressed it still gets me excited. I love touching the imprinted letters and seeing the slight shadow each letter and design causes. It’s definitely and oldie but goodie for me and I only hope more people will appreciate it more.

Seeing this video brings be back to the very few chances I had of doing letterpress. How I miss it so.

Letterheady

“Letterheady is an online homage to offline correspondence; specifically letters. However, here at Letterheady we don’t care about the letter’s content. Just its design.”

I love it. They care only about the design. Seems like all the charm letterheads had before have disappeared. So many limitations companies put on designers that at the end of it their letterhead ends up being, well, boring. Let us all take a gander at these letterheads and rethink weather having that extra inch of whitespace is worth not having something amazing at the end.
