"There's no command Z on this" funniest quote I've heard from a graphic designer. Really great work!

After 43 years in offset printing and still seeing letterpress around in my early years, you inspire.

"if something is handcrafted, you're less likely to throw it away" I would say,..... if it is handcrafted, you put more love into it and if it is for a friend you will even try to make it perfect!

Obviously no idea of composing type the correct way. Number one rule upside down and left to right. Printing machine was just a proofing press in a real printers. Even the wood type in the cases should be upside down so you can see what the letters are.

How many times do you see this from people who seem to think they are expert enough to tell other people how to do it? As a compositor for some 30 years it drives me mad!

Are you fuckin' stupid? Did you not see that the guy is making ART? You can't knock something that nice.

[@joetkeshub]

A bunch of clichés! Weird to see the sparkles in the guy's eyes when he lists his credentials... VAIN!
