Field Notes
I had the privilege to design and print for the Field Notes United States of Letterpress Series in 2020. My “True West” design was utilized in marketing photography and a video was produced of me printing while my colleagues spoke about their process.
In addition to designing one of the notebooks, I printed 9 other designs for smaller print shops who did not have the automatic presses capable of printing 15,000 two color covers in a reasonable amount of time. In total 150,000 notebook covers were printed over the course of two weeks.
