I must admit, geometry was my favorite subject in high school. There's absolutely no vagaries in geometry. Everything refers to something in physical space that my tiny human mind could fully grasp. The alchemy of chemistry, the pointlessness of calculus and the invisibility of physics never trapped me like geometry. My teacher assigned us to read the book "Flatland", and asked us to write a sequal. I'm pretty sure that's the only A I got in high school. ABOUT THE IDEAInformation is more fun to read when it's beautiful. I've designed these charts and maps with hours of research, reassembling data into a brain-friendly aesthetic. I edit the information significantly, avoiding the "dazzle" effect which occurs when our eyes are battered with too much information. Letterpress makes it even more gorgeous. ABOUT LETTERPRESS PRINTINGLetterpress is a very complicated and expensive printing method that I am obsessed with. All letterpress prints are slammed with 600 pounds of pressure, creating a deep, tactile texture. The ink gets embedded into the thick soft paper so it won't fade within your lifetime.

There's a reason this craft endures and cannot be automated: It's skilled work that is best done face-to-face in physical space. See more framing ideas here. Copyright 2020 Archie's Press
