LETTERPRESS LOVELINESS...

My friend Tara over at The Prippy Handbook, first got me into letterpress cards and now I'm hooked. These lovely clipboard postcards from Set Editions combine two things I love the most: bright colors and typography. Happy Day!

I think these are great too. Now only if they came with self-addressed envelopes...

Friday Obsession- 1920s Vintage Typography

Lat weekend, I went to see a great design exhibit at the MoMA. The exhibit featured graphic, colorful ads of Czech, Russian, German and Dutch designers from the 1920s and 1930s.

During the so-called New Typography movement in the 1920s and 1930s modernist designers, "rejected traditional arrangement of type in symmetrical columns, [and instead]  organized the printed page or poster as a blank field in which blocks of type and illustration (frequently photomontage) could be arranged in harmonious, strikingly asymmetrical compositions."

 I would love to get my hands on a print for my apartment...

The exhibit runs through July 26, 2010 at the MoMA
