Elum is constantly showing up in wedding magazines with pieces from their portfolio showcased as examples of letterpressed design. It doesn’t really get much lovely than this. The papers are very high quality and the printing is exquisite.

The folks at Absorbent Printing print using letterpress on coasters of varying thickness. After seeing it done as part of a wedding in Martha Stewart, I kind of wondered how exactly one would go about doing it. Little did I know that companies specialize in it. Absorbent Printing accepts custom designs, too. I feel a little project coming on.
Look at those prices!
I’ve been a fan of Aesthetic Apparatus since college. In fact, I took silkscreen classes in college after being inspired. Very hard process to perfect and these gentlemen have indeed perfected it. Great color schemes, amazing typography and quirky illustrative design. Love, love love.
The first two are ones I own. On average, each poster is $20. One-of-a-kind test prints are understandably more.
This was an experiment in online publication design. Major lesson learned: use code to an advantage so updating isn’t a major chore. Although we are now on hiatus, I hope we come back very very soon.
The June Issue, yes, still online.
