100 Faces
Our intern Lan Truong had her 100 Faces project posted on Design Work Life on Friday! It’s a study of simple, graphic faces that I imagine is much more difficult than it appears.

Big News
We're back from our trip to Puerto Rico! It felt great to get a big dose of sunshine and really relax, not to mention attend the most beautiful wedding ever for our friends Amber and Ben!
Now that we're rested, we feel ready to continue the busy pace in the studio that has been consistent since the beginning of the year. We've been printing lots of custom wedding suites and business cards lately! Hopefully we can get some of the new designs up on the website soon and finally show them off.
However, the busy pace can't last too much longer... as we're expecting a baby girl, due on July 1st!!! We're so excited to welcome our new little assistant!
In preparation of her arrival we are planning to wrap-up our custom printing projects by early May, so please keep that in mind when getting in touch with the studio.
Here's a pic of the baby bump taken on our Puerto Rico trip...

Introducing the newest member of Elevated Press…
We've got a new intern here at Elevated Press! Her name is Lan, and she's a talented designer and illustrator with a desire to learn all about letterpress. She also blogs about all kinds of wonderful inspirations: art, design, fashion, food, color... which is something that we hope she'll be able to help us out with on our blog as well.
Now here's Lan to introduce herself...
Hello! I am very excited to have landed an internship with Elevated Press and am looking forward to my time here. I love the tactile and physical properties of letterpress; with everything going digital, it's nice to have something that you can hold in your hands. It'll also be nice to step away from the computer for a bit and actually make and think with my hands.
When it comes to design and illustration, I am drawn to things that are simple and clean. I like basic shapes (I am very fond of the circle...it's probably my favorite shape), textures, and flat colors. Outside of design, I enjoy baking (I am known for my raspberry buttermilk cake and zucchini bread), tennis, biking, and hitting up thrift stores with my friends. My greatest fear is having my teeth fall out.
