Design: Postcard Collections (and the patterns they show)

As a hobbyist postcard designer, I loved watching this video about a color photo postcard printer whose art department had an interesting influence on the way specific postcards looked, which is only noticeable if you see enough of them. I’m sharing the video, because I just love the story.

Fonts: Tangly by Emigre Fonts

You likely know that I think  Zuzana Licko is BRILLIANT, and that Emigre Fonts is remarkably cool. But this new set of patterns called Tangly is blowing my mind.

I like to make patterns by hand, and am studying repeats, and… THIS IS SO AMAZING. The lines. The splines. The everything.

It’s really clever: go look.
