Printing Press Book

This project focused on understanding contemporary letterpress printers, specifically The Firecracker Press Company, to design a booklet capturing their visual identity. The initial phase involved visual research, utilizing the company's colors, fonts, and aesthetics for inspiration. A mood board was created to guide the booklet's design, incorporating elements from The Firecracker Press. In the next phase, I added a personalized touch by hand-carving a stamp featuring a planet and a sun, aligning with the company's aesthetic. The crafted stamps were integrated into the spread pages, showcasing the handmade elements. The final phase combined research, flow sketches, and handmade elements to create a booklet that vividly captures The Firecracker Press's unique identity, reflecting bold and vibrant colors throughout.
