Valentines is SORT-ed
Faced with the usual rubbish choice of Valentines cards, this year I thought I’d try and find something a little more interesting and design focussed.
Who should come to my rescue but none other than the Society of Revisionist Typographers (previously featured on Londondesignz a few months ago).
SORT had set up shop at Fortnum & Mason where they were selling a range of their own hand printed Valentine’s Cards. Anyone buying a card was invited to add the name of their loved one to the card via a good old fashioned hand powered Letterpress. I’m sure any recipient would be touched that their beau had put physical effort into their card.
I love the simplicity of the particular card I chose and that the two intertwined hearts are composed of lots of tiny letterpress ornaments working together as pixels to form the greater picture.
Elements of the past and the future. Combining well.
