Why Print Design Isn’t Going Anywhere.

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Print design is my first love.  I love the way that holding a book, a magazine, a piece of paper in your hand feels.  I love to disconnect myself from the constant world of electronic devices, and flip through a catalog.  As newspapers and magazines have begun to die off, I admit to feeling a little nervous.  Would I be forced, as a designer, to cross over to the digital side?  To give up my love for print?

It’s nice to see that other’s share my belief.  Print design will always be around in some form.  Some needs just cannot be satisfied virtually.

Paper Hearts.

When I think of hearts, I think of them as being frilly, sappy, seasonal and occassionally cliche– and believe me, I am anything but frilly.  Sarah and Bendrix, a shop based in England, have changed my mind.  Their art uses hearts as rich and beautiful texture.  I find myself actually wanting to hang one of these in my house, year round.  Shh, don’t tell, you’ll ruin my rep.

You can buy these pieces on the Sarah and Bendrix Etsy shop here.
