Loving Letterpress

Letterpress printing has a distinctive look and feel that sets it apart from other printing methods. The raised surfaces of the type or image are pressed into the paper, leaving an impression that creates a tactile and three-dimensional effect. This can give the print a vintage, artisanal, or handmade quality that is difficult to replicate with other printing methods. The process of creating letterpress prints involves setting type, selecting paper, inking the press, and carefully aligning each sheet of paper for printing. This hands-on process can be meditative and satisfying, allowing the artist or printer to engage with the material and create something tangible and unique.

Puzzle Posters

Each of these posters has a hidden word that the viewer can try decifer. Some individuals find this very diffcult. See if you can figure out what each poster says. These are the random words that went through my mind during my first few years of being a parent.
